Bad management has led to an oppressive atmosphere

Pros

Fun colleagues/team members. Social club and mini events by social club are a nice touch. Flexible lunch. Very easy location to get to in city centre via public transport (dart & bus).

Cons

No career development or opportunities. No benefits - no health insurance, nothing! Poor work life balance due to long hours. Management have not made any effort to fix problems. No salary ladder or monetary motivation reward system. Arrogant (unqualified!) staff members who are difficult to work with and 'delegate' far too much to already overworked teams. Bad management has led to a very oppressive atmosphere. Staff at director levels are very, very poor and have acted very unprofessional on several occasions. Directors do not have industry experience and/or degrees in the field. It is quite alarming that top level management continuously employee staff at that level with sub par qualifications.

I moved to another agency

Pros

Annual leave, Social Club, Free Food approx once a month with fruit provided daily.

Cons

I moved to another agency and quickly learned AVB (Belfast) & McCannBlue (Dublin) are nothing in comparison. I witnessed in my opinion what I would deem as bullying and several cases of extremely unprofessional behaviour. I left in 2016, company may have improved since then. Lots of people have since left so I wouldn't be confident problems have been fixed.

Greatly Improving

Pros

Everyone can have a different experience at a company, but for me its a sign of what you put in. Myself and plenty of others have been encouraged and pushed to reach higher standards and yes at times it can be hard. Though we have been supported throughout this and its really helped push my career. On a production front things are constantly improving, and moving with the times. Added to that is a fantastic family environment that would make anyone feel welcome.

Cons

Be great to see a social club start like the Dublin office
