      Hands down the WORST place I have worked at.

      Pros

      You do gain experience with working with ads and advertising, but there are much healthier, better places out there that would give you the same experience.

      Cons

      I was called into RBG from a Craigslist ad. I did not work there long, but it was enough for me to realize just how terrible this place is. Many people there are worked to the bone and are very poorly treated. A TON of people were working very late. Everyone at that place seemed too self-absorbed in their own schedule to realize just how much work they were giving everyone else. Everyone is SO BUSY, they can't open their eyes to realize that they are just as busy as the next guy. I was only there for a day, but it was terrible. The work wasn't bad, but the staff is awful. No one has any respect for upper management. They are clearly afraid of upper management, and they do not respect the upper management at all. But the worst part was even though I was there for a very short time, they still managed to make the worst impression. A couple of the employees starting getting in a shouting match right in front of me and an intern. They were yelling, SWEARING, and stomping around my workspace. They were not professional AT ALL. They didn't take their fight to the meeting room. They didn't try to keep it civil. They just fought in front of me and the intern on my FIRST DAY. I felt so uncomfortable. Apparently, this place hires and fires like no other. People just get fed up with the awful synergy and they are either fired or they leave. For anyone interested in this place, please heed this warning. I've worked at a lot of places, and this was by far the WORST place I have ever had the displeasure of working with. Also? They were out of water. This didn't bother me much when I was there, but it was still a little off-putting.

      We sincerely apologize and understand how you may feel this way. We acknowledge that the previous RBG culture was in line with your comments. In the past 6 months, however, RBG has undergone a completely new management rehaul. New seasoned CEO, new upper management, etc. As one of the new leaders of this firm I can sincerely say that company culture, hours, pay scale, and growth are key initiatives for us at RBG. Morale at RBG is the highest it's ever been since it's inception and the agency has begun to operate as a completely new firm. The new leadership comes from seasoned backgrounds having been in key upper management roles at firms such as eBay, Deloitte, Booz Allen, McKinsey, Charles Schwab, Groupon, Oracle and top startups. Company culture and branding are paramount initiatives at RBG and it is no wonder that employee commitment has never been higher.

      Pros

      There are no pros whatsover. A nice location in downtown Walnut Creek. That's about it.

      Cons

      There are too many to list. Management is extremely insensitive and brutal, and work you to the point of exhaustion and still consider you to be "too slow" (and you are expected to be online and working from home as well even after you already put in a 10-14 hour day at the office. Expect to work weekends as well, if not from the office, then being on email and responding to email and any requests). They bend over backwards for their clients, but as for the employees, as soon as you sign on with the agency, its like you've signed your entire life over to them. Current employees are disparaged constantly even though they work their butts off.

      The worst and strangest place I have worked at.

      Pros

      Not much to say here other than competitive salary and convenient location.

      Cons

      The absolute worst place I have ever worked at. The most unhealthy working environment. There is no trust in their employees. Management micro-manages everything. I described my daily grind to family and friends as an abusive relationship. Short tempered managment and belittling emails make you not want to work for these people. There is no positive energy from ANYONE. Mind you there are some nice employees and we leaned on each other for support AND sanity. If you don't mind blasting emails, rude comments, rude behavior AND moody, short-tempered management . . . take a chance. One upper manager was great . . . I learned she has since left. You are expected to work 8 - 6 (and probably shouldn't take a lunch) and we sat in a conference room with a manager...who would take calls (talk about uncomfortable as she is yelling at a vendor), was short tempered all which created an akward, unhealthy environment. My advice...RUN! Nobody last at this place . . . It should also be a red flag that there are almost as many interns as employees.
