Pros
Entree is great mainly because of the office space/location and the exposure to high quality work. It's a rarity to find anyone at Entree that is lazy about their work--the drive to create pieces for clients is very high. There are some very kind people working there as well, and ordering meals for the team helps on those long days. Some of the upper management are genuinely kind and will do their best to help you grow.
Cons
My biggest issue that drove me to leave Entree was the communication between workers and management. If someone has a complaint about the quality of your work, the usual pattern is that the team gossips about you and then will go to your department head instead of coming to you directly to fix an issue. Then there is a gulf of time where you think things are fine, and then you get called into the office and have a bomb dropped on you. It is incredibly demoralizing and myself and several other coworkers dealt with this problem time and again. Also, if you are coming in from jersey, you had better bargain up to a higher salary or you will end up making no money at all. A majority of one's paycheck will end up in the pockets of NJ transit. There is also a mean girl mentality in some departments, mainly in accounts and project management. Many girls fresh out of college who think having a grown up job makes them grown (on the contrary, there were lots of unpleasant office politics and gossip going on). Training was also a bit of a disaster. If you don't get things on the first try, you will be scrambling to understand as you go along--some of this comes from the fact that many employees are beginners in their careers. They need to stop marketing themselves as a teaching agency when their real approach is baptism by fire. Hours are LONG and sometimes unbearable. This is often exacerbated by the fact that some of the project coordinators do not have a clear understanding of how long projects take to design and edit before sending to the client. Unrealistic deadlines were a constant problem.
