Most of the good/real work is done by freelancers. Zero mentorship of juniors. But if you wanna make some meh pun ideas, go for it!

Hiring juniors and investing in mentoring them are two different things.

It is a lot of work. It’s also the most work you’ll ever sell and produce. Teams here are putting 3-5 things in their book every year. And no there are not freelancers and no it isn’t “culty”

It’s super exclusive. I lost count of how many times I tried to get in. Honestly, I think I dodged a bullet. Things always look greener from the outside.

You commented this and somehow I’m the 🤡? You sure dodged that bullet lil bro. Good on you!!!🤗

Just downright awful ugh god I just hate doing award winning fun and creative work for clients all the time, I miss being able to relate to all my friends who have to work on paid social and banner ads. Now I just make these cool ideas all the time and clients buy them because they like that our agency is quirky and has a cat mascot. Run like hell and avoid this place 👎👎👎🤮

I feel like I’ve lost myself since joining McK. My whole world has become about work. I love my job but I’m not the same person I started and I feel I don’t connect with my friends and family the way I use to. I’m not sure if I’ve grown, or lost a part of myself. Is this growing up or do I need to make a career change?
