Avantages

Howard, Merrell promotes their willingness to offer a work/life balance repeatedly while you work there and it is largely because it is the only real benefit they can offer. The culture is high energy and fun.

Inconvénients

Overall, the compensation is below average and does not improve over time. Additionally, their reliance on offering work/life balance as a benefit holds the agency back from achieving greatness. The same people are allowed to take advantage of the system over and over again so that others that enjoy taking advantage of the system don't have to start setting an example. The result is that the same small group of people work hard while others slack off and get away with it. Everyone is ok with just getting by and the agency doesn't grow as a result. Not the type of place for someone who really wants to learn and grow from watching the best throughout their career. And not the type of place for someone who expects to be compensated properly as your role grows within the company.

Avantages

Relatively good job security - given that the majority of clients are B2B, there is less knee-jerking and budget reductions than seen sometimes with B2C clients. Wonderful understanding of work/life balance - these are mostly all family people and they understand that their employees have families too.

Inconvénients

The management team - at best, they lead by committee (which is not a particularly effective management strategy since nothing ever gets decided by concensus, nor does anyone take responsibility for a decision or its repurcussions). At worst, they are utterly out of touch with their employees and how to help the company succeed. There is so much ducking and covering when it comes time to make the hard choices, that instead, the hard choices aren't made and it becomes the responsibility of middle management to make decisions, for which they are later blamed. Employee morale - there is no "team spirit". Departments work in silos with very little integration or free exchange of information. Stability - given the lack of strong management, there have been some major hiccups and there are likely more to come. There have been several layoffs (albeit quiet) over the last year, and there has been high turnover of the voluntary kind as well.
