Pros

Great art director that teaches and allows a graphic designer/production artist to grow and learn a lot. Mostly cool, hard working employees.

Cons

- Constant bickering between the 'ceo' and 'principal' (they're married). - Not designing for the client, designing for the 'principal' because he has worked his way into every aspect of every persons job. - Keeping former employees on the company website even though they no longer work there, some haven't for 2.5 years, just so that potential clients think its a bigger organization than it is. - Slamming doors and constant tension in the workplace. - No gratitude for going above and beyond doing good job and getting an impossible task completed... Especially when you stay 'til 2am because management did not plan their deadlines appropriately. - Lack of planning with deadlines based on size of job. (Expect to work your ass off to get a job that should take at-least six months done in three months) - Getting talked down to for asking questions by management. - Getting yelled at because you did what management asked and they forgot they told you to do it that way. - Total lack of care or appreciation for employees (4 people have left in the past 4 months even though serious problems were addressed... and said to be understood and on there way to getting fixed... and the 5th is on their way out).

Pros

Really nice office space. Good holiday perks.

Cons

This place cannot keep employees. They don't care that they are hiring people and letting them go left and right because they're "not a fit." Management is terrible. Especially the principal - what a jerk. Managers only care about money, leaving smaller clients to fall off the map.

Pros

The kitchen is kept clean and tidy. And the bosses come in late and leave early so the hours are good.

Cons

Where to start? The biggest problem with this agency is the management. The other reviews have it completely right. The personal relationship between the CEO and the principal seeps into everything in the office. It makes this place an impossible place to work. I could go on, but all I would advise is do your background checks really thoroughly before you work here.
