Pros
It’s remote but the workload makes it not worth it
Cons
If you’ve worked at a traditional agency, produced campaigns, or been part of 360 work, this is not that environment. I’ve worked at multiple agencies and the way this place operates is fundamentally different. You’re not actually creating or producing much. Instead, you’re buried in repetitive administrative tasks and endless “art direction” forms. There’s an intense level of micromanagement. You’re expected to schedule your time by the hour, detailing exactly what you’re doing so leadership can monitor it. Miss an entry and you’ll get aggressive follow-ups to “get sht done.” It feels less like a full-time role and more like they think they’re managing freelancers. Any seasoned professional knows client relationships take time, trust, and collaboration. Here, you’re expected to know everything immediately, and if you don’t, the micromanagement escalates with more meetings, more “development” exercises, more scrutiny. What’s worse, things discussed in private 1:1s don’t stay private. You’ll see coworkers’ names pop up reviewing documents tied to those conversations, which feels like a breach of trust. The role itself is also misleading. You’re expected to wear multiple hats as Art Director, Account Manager, Strategist for 8-12 accounts all for a salary that doesn’t reflect that scope. The culture runs heavily on fear-based tactics. Weekly “WINs” are framed as something fun, but in reality, they’re another layer of oversight to track your output. The final straw for me was an email announcing “monthly content audits,” stating that every piece of work would be closely evaluated for "improvement opportunities" followed by a line saying not to feel anxious about it. You can’t tell employees they’re under a microscope and expect them not to feel that way. To be fair, some people there are genuinely nice (not all), but it’s clear many have normalized this environment out of fear of losing their jobs. Thankfully I was able to escape just in time.
