Pros
Amazing work environment with a great community of talented individuals. Profit sharing with tiers encourages everyone to strive to achieve more than the bare minimum. The office is closed for Christmas break so no need to use any vacation days around the holidays.
'The Albert' is a role that I am convinced every company should look into implementing. He stays on top of everything, and plays a large part in making the office a fun place to be.
Kontras
Starting salary was less than expected.

Pros
There is no gossiping - the culture is very positive. Work culture is non-toxic - it's refreshing!
Executives are approachable, friendly, real people. They have earned people's respect.
All the employees are talented, inquisitive, and hard-working - we frequently share inspiration with each other.
Projects have well put-together teams - there is a sense of collaboration, and feedback is encouraged which makes working with people really easy.
There is a lot of participation in terms of social activities (of which there are a lot!) and the social committee works hard to make sure the events are unique and exciting.
There is free fruit in the kitchens daily and candy in all the meeting rooms - and people bring in their dogs frequently!
Kontras
Non-competitive salaries, and benefits package could be greatly improved: there are only 2 weeks of vacation to start and no group RRSP matching plan that is common in other workplaces.
There is a lack of an established process for some things which can be hectic at times. They are aware and this is being worked on.
Employee reviews are frequently held late.
HR has set up the software to require an explanation for any time off booked (including personal appointments and vacations), which can be sensitive in terms of privacy.
The company can do more in terms of establishing itself as a thought leader and involving itself in the community. Use social media more frequently!
Rat an das Management
HR policies should be reviewed to ensure that they make sense and are competitive. Other than that - keep it up!

Pros
The agency was founded in 1996. So it is young enough to be fresh, exciting and open to new ideas. But it is established enough to have a solid HR function, well-trained and supportive managers, and an excellent work-life balance. As an agency, the clients' needs can often tip that balance during busy times but the agency is very accommodating to balance things out appropriately. It is a very fun, laid-back yet professional environment. And with clients across the US and Europe, there are opportunities for more global exposure--and from time to time, travel.
Kontras
The only cons I can think of are actually consistent with any creative agency of that size (80 people, +/-). Internal communication can be challenging and the inherent 'tension' that can exist between clients and creative pops up now and again.
Rat an das Management
Continue to nurture the amazing culture that exists. Develop talent from within the ranks.
Pros
Very professional personnel, some of them so friendly and collaborative.
Kontras
In the mean time, there is a lot of politics.
Ich arbeite in Vollzeit bei McMillan (mehr als ein Jahr)
Pros
- Provides intensive leader training and small-group workshops for mid-management
- Offers plenty of outlets for creative thinking if you are proactive
- Is attentive and very responsive if you are get "burn out"
- Brilliant, stylish, and fun teams to work with
- Senior executives have a open door policy, and frequently seem to have mid-management drop by for informal advice and boosts.
- Industry standard salary, but with good benefit package (and you get your birthday and a volunteer day off)
- Offers annual personal improvement for conferences or training
Kontras
- Some people are usually or always busy, while others seem to have quite a lot of free time
- Interesting and highly-creative projects are often treated as extra-curricular, and little or no time is allotted on your schedule for them.

Pros
The culture is inviting, friendly and family-like. No-one has an ego or bad attitude. New hires seem to be vetted at the door for cultural mesh.
Kontras
Some teams need to work MUCH harder than others (due to client demands or resource shortages, or both), which for sure is draining. Its ok once in a while, but if it becomes the new norm it will take its toll and may be contributing to departures.
Rat an das Management
Keep up the wonderful incentives and internal team empowerment you're doing. I'm extremely grateful to be part of the McMillan family.
