What’s the word on Laughlin Constable?

You are currently posting as works at

You'll be surrounded by the Laughlin family and all their friends and extended relatives as well as people who never worked anywhere else and become SVPs within 7 years. 3 days a week onsite for no good reason and creative that doesn't exactly inspire anyone. All of that said, there are some lovely individuals there.

Laughin’ Constable 👮

The word is nepotism, Bob

Had a pretty good time there for a few years. I’ve had WAYYYY worse CDs than the Laughlin Bros. They’re solid dudes doing their best and pushing the work where they can. On the whole the clients lean smaller and/or more regional and thus a touch more conservative and less likely to do work that’s all that big or well funded. Will echo what everyone else has said that as a place to work and group of people to work with it’s pretty great. Had good work-life balance and made some solid stuff during my time. All-in-all I’d work there again if the right opportunity popped up and I can’t say that about several other agencies I’ve worked at.

Lol, I used to want to work there 10 years ago in Milwaukee. Now... Not so much.

7 years to CCO... fast. Even for nepotism. Also did a quick Google search, these fools seem obsessed with getting on the local TV news and radio

Yea from everything I have heard there is soooo much nepotism there. I haven't worked there personally but I honestly just never hear good things and these comments definitely confirm what I have heard before.

That fact that everyone’s last name is Laughlin, including the cleaners, should have been a dead giveaway.

Never mind I got a generic rejection from the recruiter after they ghosted me for three weeks.

You dodged a bullet. I worked there and it’s not a good place. Toxic.

Well, their dad started the agency. So when your name is on the door, of course there’s gonna be nepotism. It’s their company.

Are they still hiring lol

To my knowledge, the role is filled

There is an opportunity that I’m currently interviewing for that is very interesting to me. I’m interviewing two other places but I’m not responding to LinkedIn emails for other positions. The other positions don’t interest me as much. On one hand I don’t want to waste time prepping for all positions and rather put that time only for the ones that I have going on, on the other hand I feel like what is that falls through. Wondering if I’m making the right choice
