FAQ
Do working Conditions tend to be pleasant?
Lets
just say you have to deal with a lot of bloated egos. The agency is
usually filled with people who don't report to you, yet they're
essential to your job. Some are cranky, some live in a fantasy land,
some are difficult some treat schedules with disdain and some
will make you totally crazy!
- Do Creative Directors spend most of their time in the office, or out of the office?
Your
life is often not your own.Although life is pretty casual in the office
like no dress code, people are usually stuck in their offices
starting around 8 and 8:30 in the morning - earlier if an early morning
meeting is scheduled, and you're part of it (or responsible for setting
up the conference room). So the business day ends when it ends.
Ten-hour days are common and weekends are often used to catch up. When
you're sitting in meetings all day the work piles up. Agencies are rife
with stories about canceled dates, missed birthdays, anniversaries,
graduations and just about anything else you might plan, including
vacations.
