Have you worked at an agency that felt like it had process nailed down? It’s my biggest pain at my gig now and I want to jump ship but not if it’s the same thing with a different name on the door.

We have process, but we also have account people who never say no to ridiculous client demands, including getting an email about something that needed to be done by EOD. The email was sent at 4:38.

I think we’ve got it nailed down generally 😎

Go talk with your marketing and operations lead and be part of creating one, if needed. Get client involved even. Great opportunity to be a leader. A creative asking for process. You’ll be remembered at bonus time.

Process is driven so much by what the client/brand wants, the account people, the project managers. Don't jump ship for it - if process not working smoothly is your biggest pain, and you have interesting work and congenial colleagues, count yourself lucky.
Keep asking questions until you are sure what you need to do and when, in spite of the broken process. (Former GSW)
