Any agencies that have a good reputation, but suck when you actually work there? Wonder why that happens?

Most agencies you think are great could fall into this. They all have an account that pays the bills that no one wants to work on. I know people who have had terrible terrible times working at WK, Droga, GSP etc etc. obviously that’s not whole sale, people have great times there too. Just saying that every shop, legendary or not, can be different for each individual

72 might be overrated, but I actually enjoyed working there.

I think this happens a lot since agency reputation can be based on awards work, when in reality when you get hired that’s most likely not what you’ll be working on (or the teams you’ll be working with)

There’s also like a 1-2 year lag on reputation. When I was in school (‘14-‘16) I thought Crispin was hot shit.

The creative dept/floor is a library of silence. Beautiful office. Terrible office perks/coffee.

I don’t know weather we should charge on the higher spectrum because of our experience or lower because of our business infancy.

I recently got an IBM offer letter. There are 3 options i.e. Accept, Decline and Query.

Need advice. I’m at my first job in private accounting. Previous experience is as an auditor. I am struggling to figure out the way JEs are posted at my current company.

I’m curious if it’s just my company or if every sophisticated accounting department will have non traditional ways of posting their journal entries.
