Pros

There is a lot of busy work and great pay, especially if you're from out of town. It's a great place to fill your portfolio with local mediocre work.

Cons

The leadership at Tombras have mastered the true art of manipulation. Everything is smoke and mirrors in the recruitment process. Once they have tricked you into joining their team you'll quickly find how unfriendly and unprofessional they are. Most of the work they do there is small time. There is no HR department, so if you have a problem you talk to the heads of the company. There is no exit interview as you leave the place. Nor does leadership care how your experience was or is going there. They don't even care to improve or change their ways. It's pure chaos everyday. Women are also not treated as equals in this environment. In fact some men are allowed to run around in drunk stupors and call women degrading names, such as c u next Tuesday. And these men never get reprimanded for their behavior. It's sickening. But hey, no HR means everything is fair game if you catch my drift. That being said they are known to hire in big shots from out of town who try to sleep with women and use flirtation to get them to join their team. Tombras does not care either as long as that big shot is lining their pockets with press, new clients and talented creatives. If you're offered a large salary to come join the team, be weary of it. It may seem like a great deal, but you'll immediately grow to regret it. RUN! This is not a real advertising agency, there are by far better opportunities out in the REAL world.

Pros

The pros here was being able to work at a full-service agency and getting to work on a variety of items. You have a solid team of smart individuals that can really help you understand different strategies or more technical items. I was here for 3 years and was able to really expand my knowledge base on various media teams. I also had the luxury of working remote for the company, which had more flexibility than the return to office structure they have now. They had standard health benefits and 401K matching, but the people really made the place. Jodi is great and the social teams were always collaborative and down to help on anything that you might have some questions on. Also enjoyed getting to speak with senior leaders in the company, there are a few who really know there stuff and can be great mentors.

Cons

Standard agency woes of being stretched thin between a lot of accounts. A little bit of being stuck in the same position and not being able to have upward momentum. There was a lack of process at times, which can lead to disorganization and missing deliverables. Some of the other teams had a bit more qualms, but social was pretty good!
