Oh my god, you have to be there at 8:30? Like, before your clients so you’re ready to hit the ground running when the phones and emails start going? Wow, it’s almost like they treat the place like it’s a — gasp — job!

When I was there, we had to be in at 8:30, and there was a mandatory 8:00am creative department status meeting. But that being said, there was a good culture and you felt like you were part of something significant. That and we had several happy hours a week at local dive bars. Good memories.

He also keeps a significant portion of your pay in profit sharing. You can have it after you're vested.

Good deal if you're willing. Mainly you're under market pay, with a magic $ account waiting for you in 5 or 6 years.

AD2 - the money isn’t necessarily taken away from you because it’s deducted from your end of year bonus (aka free money) BUT you get that after you’ve been there for 1-year.

Been passed over for promotion twice (had support from multiple partners both times). Received the top performance rating every year since joining the firm (6 years), which I’ve heard is rare.

Anyone else face this and have any suggestions/guidance?
