Pros

There are no pros except there are some good people who cycle through there constantly. Every couple of years theres a new batch. They can't keep anyone good. That's why there is so much turnover. Like crazy turnover.

Cons

So many cons. In fact the agency is one big con. This is an agency that is stuck in the past. It doesn't matter how many good people they bring in. Or how many monitors they put on a wall to display analytics. Good teams in every department end up leaving. Each person arrives thinking they are going to make a difference or change things. But then a couple of years go by, or in some cases mere months, and everyone is disillusioned. They realize the management is incompetent, the agency is not going to change and they move on. Or get layed off when the CEO has to make his numbers so he can please the "board" made up of his dad and brother. The entire executive team should be fired or just retire already! Take a look at their website and see how many old AF white guys are running the place. How about some diversity? Or old white women who haven't worked anywhere else or have a bad reputation for being the worst account people in Orlando. Ask around at other agencies. All the good people and anything good about this place has pretty much left the building. &Barr is being run into the ground by the management until the owners retire. Hard pass.

We're disappointed that this was your perception. &Barr prides itself in the talent, tenure and diversity of its staff as well as the overall management of the agency.

Pros

- location is beautiful - people are kind, capable and trustworthy - care for employees is tangible - culture is lived out - benefits take care of me and my family - bonuses! - leadership is hardworking and compassionate - random fun things throughout the year - lots of pets we love pets - pay is good and good work gets recognized and rewarded

Cons

- Parking (not too big a deal) - work tends to seep into later times and weekends (not regularly, but could be tough sometimes (This also could just be something I can work on)) I'd ask for overtime, but bonuses feel pretty nice and make it feel worth it! - There is potential to be asked of a lot to do but the outcomes are often worth it. - old building comes with its issues but legacy comes at a cost I guess! Everything is renovated and upgraded every now and then but carpets and blinds are meh
