I’m not a poc but used to work there and while the work isn’t the sexiest, Arc has great culture and is a good place to start out your career. They have very caring leaders esp in creative and while they are pretty much all white, they do a good job supporting diversity and inclusion when a lot of other agencies seem to have stopped caring about that when their clients did. There’s good vibe in the Chicago office overall - no toxicity and friendly people who seem to stick around. Chris Cancilla is a good dude too.

Agreed! My only complaint has been lack of consistent raises. Internal communication isn’t the best either.

Hello Fishies,

I am done with all my rounds at S&P Global and shared my documents to HR. No one has asked about my expected salary yet. Is this usual in their process. How much can I ask for an experience of 9 years. How many days does it take to release the offer and what is the slary structure.

Additional Posts in Advertising

My browser history is failing me and hope y’all can help! I recently stumbled upon a website where some ad folks had compiled a bunch of idea/conceptual thinking approaches and if you clicked through there were past spots that had utilized that idea / way of thinking. I wanted to share it with a mentee and can’t track it down. It was a simple layout: grid of images w/headline naming the idea … Sound familiar?
