Well meaning but muddled

Pros

The Company has a brand and in itself manages to leverage itself well in the marketplace. The rank and file staff are generally enthusiastic and earnest, if not exactly brilliant strategically or creatively the most dynamic. In part this is because the client base is either a large corporation that has cash to spare or a smaller one that hasn't realized that they can get sub-Interbrand quality for free (you get what you pay for).

Cons

There is little banter or team spirit vs a more creative ad agency environment which may not suit everyone. Senior management very prone to helicoptering in and making rash strategic, hiring/firing decisions based on impulse which demoralizes an intelligent workforce.

Branding boot camp, but ultimately a frustrating experience

Pros

1. Strong clients to build a rock resume in a short period of time 2. Flex work if you get the right manager 3. Smart, dedicated talent 4. If you put in the time, energy, and effort you will develop very strong expertise and competency 5. Solid PTO, Holiday

Cons

1. Little career growth or development beyond platitudes 2. Very low pay, near bottom of industry 3. Promotions based purely on financial status and only after you've been executing the role for 1+ years 4. Little training, on-boarding or support once in a role. Truly sink or swim. 5. 401K hit or miss match and no transparency in decision 6. Work/life balance non-existent, 60-80 hour norm (between office, home, and travel) 7. Continually declining quality of work since margin is the only real focus 8. Boys club at the top and pre-selected roster of future (male) leaders based on their "potential" or "charism" 9. Turnover, burnout for above reasons, people routinely quit coupled with management mentality that human capital is interchangeable and commoditized 10. Politics, ego, and self-promotion rampant. Difficult to construct a genuine culture within this context.
