Entry-Level Beware

Pros

There is a unique sense of camaraderie at BVK that I'm not sure you can find elsewhere. Casual dress code is a plus, and the unique work space allows everyone to have their own privacy that's typically not common for cubicle life. Develop a good working relationship with your team and department members and they'll have your back.

Cons

Entry-level positions, whether it be in media, creative, account service or elsewhere are completely taken advantage of. Meager starting salaries are the norm...of which they'll tell you you're at the top of the salary range, even though there seems to be one flat number. Starting salary won't reflect any previous experience or otherwise. Beyond pay, personal growth isn't a focus here. Trying to coordinate a yearly review is a feat in of itself, and any discussion regarding promotion is swiftly dismissed or delayed as long as possible. All that and they'll take advantage of long hours from you while dangling the carrot of a promotion. To summarize: You'll learn a lot in your beginning years at BVK that will take you far in your next role, but this place does not care for rewarding hard work and is indifferent to you staying long term with the company.

Great--if you're friends with the right people

Pros

BVK is a good company to work for, with nice, creative people.

Cons

But there's no traffic manager or system for determining which creatives works on what. So the "cool kids" work with their friends, and everybody else has to hustle. The company also has a completely dysfunctional relationship with its legacy client, The Mark Travel Corporation.

Pros

None. Bad for your spirit, your heart, and your career. Run the other way! Notice, it takes them months to fill a position, that they should fill in two weeks. That's because, they pick-pocket tons of fresh ideas from applicants' portfolios.

Cons

I've worked salaried, and freelance for many top U.S. agencies, and, this ain't one of 'em! Good ole boy club, pulls the puppet strings, makes everyone else dance the "salt mine jig" for them.
