What are the perks of working for an agency vs being client side?

The experience and clout of agencies is preferable. I’ve worked at top, worldwide agencies in their blue chip accounts and in every case, my clients at multinational brands were the biggest marketing and advertising idiots ever. Stat agency side unless your client side role is VP marketing

I recently had an initial interview for a technical recruiter position. The guy on the phone stated that this is not a 9-5 job and long hours are expected.
