Pros

The biggest "pro" to ASM is that it is easy to get hired. Unfortunately, that leads to many of the "Cons"!

Cons

ASM has plenty of nice, dedicated employees who are grossly underpaid yet as you look at their corporate staff you see underskilled, undereducated management without the diverse experience that will give them a broad enough perspective to see the problems and fix them. Overall there is a severe lack of professionalism.

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.
