Pros
- Office perks: modern space, in-house chef, gym, Christmas party, camp, happy hour - Its easy to get promoted, especially if you work on the digital teams (Search, Social, Digital Planning, Programmatic). The fast pace on the job makes you learn quickly. - Major Canadian clients that look good on a resume - Good health insurance
Cons
- Extremely long hours and no work/life balance. No compensation or perk to balance the constant mandatory overtime. Your health and happiness will be at the expense of client demands and deadlines. You'll probably be working instead of having fun at camp or enjoying happy hour. - The salaries are really low and the raises here are a joke. Management likes to say that loyalty pays at this company, do not believe them. You are at a disadvantage being hired as a coordinator, you will never make the same salary from being promoted as external hires will by starting in higher positions. - Toxic culture, huge egos and a childish amount of gossip. Some teams are like high school. Some managers and directors don't seem to do any work here either. - Collaboration between teams is really poor. “One team” mindset only applies when it makes certain managers or teams look good. If you make a mistake, the one team mindset no longer applies and you will be thrown under the bus.
