Rocket fuel for my career
Senior CopyWriterFormer Employee, more than 1 yearManchester, EnglandPros
I worked here for a year and a half and I can honestly say it was like rocket fuel for my career. I learnt more about marketing and business management here than in all my years at uni and post grad. These guys will push you to your limit and beyond - that's why some people have posted negatively about this organisation. This company is not a 'love in', it's more like military boot camp for marketers. If you do your job well, listen to what you're told, and get on with it (quickly), you'll be fine here and you'll learn a lot. The MD is a marketing GENIUS. If I ever start my own company i'll get Scott Dawson Advertising on board straight away.
Cons
You need a thick skin to work here, but don't take it personally, it's purely about your work. This is a company that demands hard work, all the time. There's no slacking off, ever.

Pros
Those final few steps when you finally find something better
Cons
Where do you start? Seriously, it's like hell on Earth. Murray is not only the worst boss I've ever had, but one of the vilest people I've ever encountered. Why? He mistreats and talks down to his employees and routinely loses his temper. He expects you to work weekends for free, humiliates you in front of others and boasts about his wealth. He's a literal bully, poking fun at his staffs social-econmic status and physical appearance with out any remorse. Every so often he liked to buy a bottle of wine and other stuff (probably on the companies tab), but does it make up for all of that? No chance. What else is there? The next worst thing is that nobody actually knows what they are doing. Enjoy the hell train guys.
