Good benefits, but job security is a concern

Sr sem manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Benefits are good. - Health insurance, 401k, unlimited PTO

Cons

The main concern is the volatility of job security lately; there have been a lot of layoffs lately, and that means an increase in workload for those of us still left. Clients can either make the experience good or bad depending on how demanding and nitpicky they are. I'm currently on 5 accounts, but one client is making work unbearable.

Pleasant work environment but inconsistent leadership

Marketing manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

It's been such a pleasure, joy and fresh air to work here. I'm respected, as is my work life balance.

Cons

Leadership hasn't always been consistent with their words and actions, making it feel scary and tumultuous at times.

Decent pay but limited promotion opportunities.

Creative director

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Good pay. Started as a solid brand with talented coworkers.

Cons

No real upward mobility or promotion opportunity. Higher-level senior management is disconnected from creative leadership and tends to gamble a bit too much with client relationships. Agency promises a lot of benefits and growth opportunities for employees that do not come to fruition. When budgets get tight, they cut creative teams regardless of whether the account and employee have been performing well for the agency.
