Adcom Group Reviews

- account managers aren’t managed through traffic so you’ll log 55-60hr weeks and nobody bats an eye but if you try to have a designer work 41 hours, you get immediate and forceful pushback - career goals are only listened to if they align with what AdCom needs of you at this moment - covid was handled terribly with the CEO’s main focus on how to get people back into the office asap even though we were in the middle of a pandemic. Salaries were cut twice during this time and all he worried about was our rebranding. - as per most agencies, we were so reliant on our clients projects that we sacrificed internal resources to get things done. - when I was leaving, I was offered all of these benefits that weren’t available to me while being employed which was so off putting because it shows I was very undervalued but extremely overwhelmed during my day to day

Unsustainable workloads and a toxic culture that glorifies workaholism. You’ll be praised in front of the agency one day and then treated like trash the next. If a client becomes dissatisfied, look out, because it’s every man for themselves. You’ll get thrown under the bus by teammates you thought you could trust *so fast* your head will spin. Boundaries are unhealthy (i.e. nonexistent) and there is no work/life balance. If you’re willing to run yourself ragged by logging insane hours and don’t mind sacrificing your mental health to meet unrealistic demands and expectations (all while earning a fraction of what the agency makes off your blood sweat and tears) then this is the place for you. It’s pretty much perfect for go-getting grads with no families and no lives who are eager to #hustle for “cool” clients — as long as there’s beer on tap in The Stir.
