Pros

WORK FROM HOME WAS THE ONLY PROS.

Cons

My time at Dentsu Creative was a highly negative experience, characterized by overwork, underpayment, and a complete lack of support from management. The company demands an unsustainable work-life balance, routinely requiring over 60 hours of work each week with employees always being on call. The treatment of employees is deplorable. Despite my dedication and hard work, I was eventually let go without any valid reason, making me feel used and discarded. The lack of appreciation and recognition for the effort put in is disheartening. The brand ambassadors, who play a critical role in the company's operations, were often rude, consistently late, and prone to canceling appointments at the last minute. This unprofessional behavior added to the stress and chaos of the job. Upper management is completely out of touch with the realities of their employees' workloads and well-being. They show no concern for the health or happiness of their staff, focusing solely on productivity at any cost. This disregard is mirrored by the Human Resources department, which seems utterly clueless about the demands and responsibilities of the various roles within the company. HR failed to provide proper training or support, further compounding the issues faced by employees. The working conditions at Dentsu Creative are unsustainable and harmful. The company works its employees to the grave without offering any real support or care. I cannot recommend working here unless significant changes are made to address these critical issues. Your health, well-being, and professional growth are worth more than what this company offers.

Pros

Great place to learn if you're new and on the good account. Team can be very supportive of your growth and push you to excel where you want.

Cons

Currently on a horrible client that demands fast turn-around times. Management doesn't push back and allows rushed or last minute launches with vague or incomplete specs, budgets, creatives. Very burnt out and not learning anything at the moment. Constantly just launching campaigns with no idea how they are performing. Promised many times that promotions were coming but been hanging on for literal years. Haven't moved up once. Pay is a bit low. My pay is a result of state laws that require a minimum to be met. Haven't had an actual pay increase that was directly tied to the work i was doing.
