Pros

u’ll make a few cool friends

Cons

no proper workflow training provided but u are expected to perform anyway. u’ll be surrounded by people who care so much about spreading rumours and badmouthing u even if u never talked to them. some team members are too focused on looking good for themselves instead of making the team look good as a whole. u’ll need to work until midnight and have many mental breakdown episodes, and if you ever think about voicing it out it’s pointless bcs HR DOES NOT CARE and the management will only gaslight u to believing that YOU are the problem. no OT for the extra working hours, and you cannot go home early even if you’ve completed your tasks but claim to be advance/ gen z agency? lol. u’ll be asked to take on others’ tasks sometimes and make u work above ur paygrade. they’ll treat u like a slave but mask it with fake smile and kindness so don’t be fooled. useless top management and team leads but they looove taking credits from your hardwork. this whole company is filled with drama and there’s no one u can trust unless if shoe licking is ur forte. also watch out for this untouchable lesbian couple who’ll talk crap about u in chinese for no reason.

Pros

- build networking with client, Kols, colleagues, working partners - young people young environment - fast learning curve in short period - independence

Cons

- misuse of using the word Altruism and company core value to tie you down to their principles and company toxic practice and culture. ( if you say no means you not following company “beliefs and value) - poor management skills, office politics, dramas, finger pointing blaming, backstabbing among colleagues - lack of leadership and basic communication - highly toxic people and favoritism, biases, social bully, isolation, gaslighting, manipulation, emotional blackmailing, - if you wanna survive you gotta “blend in” and be who there are #nomorebeingyourself - boss is bias with staffs that are closer to management - HR doesn’t really care of your well being genuinely but still gives minimal “support” as part of HR basic job - if you don’t meet their expectations you’re deemed to be isolated/bullied/brush off/ minimal attention. - be prepared for strong mental health to deal with people who act two faces, verbal abuse, fake kindness etc - HR always project fantasies career path that you think you could achieve but likely not because you’re not part of the gang or management friends - no work life balance because you gotta work whenever there’s lack of manpower and overloaded campaigns

Pros

- Hybrid work system (also depends, scroll on for more) - Core working hours of 10-4pm (may leave at 4 and work elsewhere, but you'll be so busy you won't get to) - Ok benefits, dental, chiro, xray, medical & phone claims. - Get to work with renowned brands & KOLs (u can definitely get this elsewhere too)

Cons

- Hybrid work system: depends on your lead, as they always say "it is a privilege not an entitlement". Then don't set this in the first place..? It seems unfair as it's subjected to leads. - Management: Their way of handling matters is questionable. instead of diffusing an issue, often times it escalates, causing employees to feel worse and awkward. Rather than always preaching "we put our people first", make sure you act on it. Tends to magnify on useless matters but ignore the important ones. - Favoritism: It's even easy for newbies to spot who the favorites are. They can file any kind of complaints with no fact check and they can say or do anything but not get into trouble. Don't even try to complain about them or you'll get HR meeting instead. - Company system: No proper team system, onboarding, training for the work you'll be doing, workflow, sometimes even common sense. If you're new, the room for error is bigger than China, so you'll have to be ready to mess up because you will be very lonely at the work you do.
