Pros

IF you have a good supervisor/manager and do a good job you can have schedule flexibility, other than that very, very few. They try to do some things right but can't get out of their own way. For a company in this industry the benefits package is fair. Time off and insurance are acceptable but no real deal - plenty worse/better options in the world. Pay is somewhat ambiguous given the business is tied to retail. The company has to make a profit but if you are looking to make decent $ look for companies that are growing instead of downsizing.

Cons

Constant nagging and treating you like a 12 year old child even when you are a consistent top performer... this is for both front line and supervisory levels. The company has lost many, large, long-term clients and is struggling mightily to 'reinvent' itself. They have had to lay off over 4000 people in the past year + due to this so as a result there is little to no opportunity for advancement. If you need a job/paycheck to simply tide you over this may be an option but the pay is low given the industry as a whole (although new employee's can maximize your ask) - existing employee's pay the price for sticking around. You are expected to use your personal cell phone to make your job easier with no compensation. Mileage paid is very, very poor - $0.37/mile while the IRS limit is nearly double at $0.725. They tell you that there will be tax implications to you as an employee if they pay you more (maybe so if you are a Supervisor/Mgr/Director who gets a slightly higher allowance and a gas card...). It may pay for your gas but it doesn't cover insurance, wear and tear etc. There is no or very, very little commission program for any type of sales for front line employees. Territories can be very large and spread out hence high mileage on a weekly basis. Very insular and do not give any credit or consideration to transferable skills for promotions. If you aren't from/haven't 'grown-up' in retail don't think you will have a chance at a promotion even if you are a top performer. If you need a survival job this may work but plan on a less than fulfilling work environment where you are treated as a 12 year old. If you are a mature, responsible adult looking for career opportunities I would suggest you go elsewhere unless you plan on working here for 12-18 months and moving on.

Pros

Great company. Although laid off, we did get a severance package. Good PTO and flexibility.

Cons

I would suggest seeing if other positions within the company would be a good fit before laying off your good employees with no other options to keep them with the company.

Pros

There are pockets of talent and smarts on the creative side of the business, and I absolutely adored my immediate coworkers and my manager.

Cons

Senior leadership is an absolute mess. They will get us all together for these pep rallies, demand we “AMP IT UP”, then turn around and screw us mercilessly when it comes to raises, bonuses and job security. There is also quite a bit of platonic nepotism happening on the creative end of the business, with people who lend no real value to the work sitting at the very top of the creative pyramid solely because of their relationship to senior leaders. These people are being carried on the shoulders of their creative directors and ACDs, who are all criminally underpaid and under appreciated. With round after round of layoffs, no new wins, and leaders who demand high energy, long hours, and good attitudes at all times, I would strongly advise creatives to steer clear of this train wreck of an agency.
