Pros

The glory days were long gone, but many of the people who were attracted by the agency in its prime held on, hoping that things might turn around. This, I think, inspired a high degree of camaraderie and desire to help each other. In the end, that was all that was left.

Cons

Delusion, deception, and dysfunction at the highest level.

Pros

This was a great place to get experience in the graphic design field! (My employment with this company ended in 2014 but the form would not allow dates prior to 2019)

Cons

Hard work at times! But that can be a pro too.

Pros

I learned a lot of fundamental skills. A little bit of everything, from all facets of the agency. I learned from a lot of pros in the business; met and have kept in touch with a lot of fantastic mentors, friends and co-workers. Learned how to function and perform well in a quick-turnaround environment. My toolbox is full from my years here.

Cons

Quick-turnarounds became the everyday norm. Miracles were often expected, not applauded. Co-workers left, were laid-off, or were fired, and one was expected to take on their work load- no matter how well you performed, no recognition was ever given, no reward given, no increase in pay. Reward was always more work. If you were good at your job, you got to take on larger workloads, while those who were problematic to work with, got to coast with easy clients, decreased hours, part-time, etc.
