Bad management has led to an oppressive atmosphere

Pros

Fun colleagues/team members. Social club and mini events by social club are a nice touch. Flexible lunch. Very easy location to get to in city centre via public transport (dart & bus).

Cons

No career development or opportunities. No benefits - no health insurance, nothing! Poor work life balance due to long hours. Management have not made any effort to fix problems. No salary ladder or monetary motivation reward system. Arrogant (unqualified!) staff members who are difficult to work with and 'delegate' far too much to already overworked teams. Bad management has led to a very oppressive atmosphere. Staff at director levels are very, very poor and have acted very unprofessional on several occasions. Directors do not have industry experience and/or degrees in the field. It is quite alarming that top level management continuously employee staff at that level with sub par qualifications.

I moved to another agency

Pros

Annual leave, Social Club, Free Food approx once a month with fruit provided daily.

Cons

I moved to another agency and quickly learned AVB (Belfast) & McCannBlue (Dublin) are nothing in comparison. I witnessed in my opinion what I would deem as bullying and several cases of extremely unprofessional behaviour. I left in 2016, company may have improved since then. Lots of people have since left so I wouldn't be confident problems have been fixed.

Pros

company once had a strong rep nice office some strong brands

Cons

Poor management. Too many juniors with little or no experience at 'director' level (especially in Dublin). Some directors have no qualifications in the area! Unprofessional behaviour. Poor recruitment process. No rewards or career development. Avoid if you have a family - long working hours with no thanks or gratitude. No overtime and weekend and late nights are expected as normal!
