Depends on the account. Avoid Pfizer team like the plague. Good work life balance to the point of being boring. Awesome perks like discounted massage and cheap barista-made drinks. Hands down the most boys-club, sexist place I’ve ever worked, but in a “friendly” way. Having Kathy as CCO makes a lot of the men think the agency is “above” that. Negotiate hard when you’re going in because raises and promotions are very slow to happen.

not a good career move. but they’ll do a great job convincing you it is. Also-high turnover, everyone miserable and it’s a back stabbing environment.

CW1 -Agree w all. My core exposure was on the Pfizer account. Still feel the PTSD from that period.

Pfizer is so damn insufferable.

CW1, are we talking about the same S&SW? I love the place, and it's the most diverse, non-sexist place I've freelanced at. Gay, straight, old, young, and the most ethnically diverse workforce out there. Not sure about Pfizer, but I've worked in a bunch of groups and white males are def in the minority.

I still have PTSD from the Pfizer account. Most toxic environment and everyone miserable, disempowered and dysfunctional. Getting a headache just thinking about it.

Any comments on the AbbVie account?

Hi lady fish,

I’ve been with Accenture for 10 years and am about to take maternal leave. I got an interesting conversation with HR yesterday about leaving Accenture after maternal leave, and the kicker is to join the client. I got a couple of questions for you guys:

One...did anyone leave Accenture right after maternal leave? If so, what happened? Did they have to pay back anything?

Hi SpEd Teachers, is anyone else facing EXTREME staff shortages as a result of state funding?

I've lost 70+ hrs/week of para hours over the past few years and my students are really suffering. This leaves our district open to lawsuits, but the real problem is the state's education budget. What can we do?? This isn't going to fix itself.

How do you create the visual direction of a print campaign for example? Is it generally just about creating a mood board that sets the look and feel? Should it be specific (as in drawing or illustrating) with the pose and the framing?

Cause my thinking is more of the former where you give the photographer their own take of the idea. Curious to know how you do it.
