Pros

Great people, lots of support from teams, decent management

Cons

Doesn't pay well and doesn't adjust salary based on location, only office culture is in the HQ location and other offices are treated more as a satellite location, long path to promotion that is demotivating and feels like hard work is not rewarded as it should be

Pros

A great company with a great reputation. Good client list. Those who were at Sparks before 2023 are the ones to know.

Cons

Getting bought by Freeman was the worst thing that could have happened to this agency. Strong leaders are neutered (if they even stick around). We haven't had a CEO in months. The new leaders are the dusty old ineffective ones from the dissolved Freeman agency. They bring in their old methods and then wonder why things stop working correctly. It's a shame. Now it's like working at an old hotel and everyone wonders why no one visits anymore.
