Listen closely. Run don't walk! These reviews are the real deal. - Avis employé Employé (anonyme) ANDXP

Here are the cons and some words of advice to those who will work here regardless of the huge red flag past employees are waving in your face! -The only thing that resembles an actual agency here is the use of the word in the company's DBA. -There is no such thing as moving up. The people who think they have moved up have only done so in title and have received very little compensation if any in return. Even they would acknowledge pay raises are non existent. -Do not expect a raise or annual review. You will hear a lot of talk and see no action. It won't happen, end of story. -Attempt to negotiate a salary that will position you well for your next career move. -Do NOT stay for more than 1 year. -If you're unfortunate enough to have daily interaction with the head office micro manager, you'll recognize her immediately, suck up to her, but understand the loyalty here will never be with you. Expect to be thrown under the bus daily, document and keep hard copies of all your interactions with her. This is ger first attempt in a creative environment, even though she has been there for years, and it's embarrassingly obvious. Avoid her at every cost when possible. -Remember it's only a year and if you're working here you really need a job and probably have no other options. -Creatives be ready for some hard lessons and don't lose faith in your abilities despite constant put downs from your director. He is a fixture so play your part. Expect credit to be taken from you and little to no praise. Do not engage the director, grudges are held and will waste your energy. -There are 2 decent people left here, but they don't have the pull to help you in any way. You are on your own. -Expect your work/life balance to tilt heavily in favor of work. -Your opinion will not count here. The CEO calls all the shots, and leaves the "office micro manager" to run the game.
