pipes! posted:In my experience, a lot of the so-called agency "prestige" is affection developed as a way of feeling better as what is usually just straight-up exploitative work environments. After leaving a packaging job for a manufacturer that I really liked, for $7000 more a year and 60 miles shaved off my daily commute for an agency that was right around the corner, I thought it was the right thing. I thought "Yay more money! Less commute! I'll get to learn a lot!" It was great at first.. working on video game packaging, some design, primarily production. Then it turned into 12 hour days, then some days I'd be there from 8am until 4am fixing work that the egotistical art directors hosed up and rushed so they could go home on time, that was due the next day. Combined with the megalomaniac personalities a lot of agency owners have, it is definitely an exploitative work environment, you nailed it on the head. You get so caught up in the "culture" that is at the agency. The late night dinners, and they seem to do their best to make you feel like you're an important spoke in the wheel with sweet talk, or that you're a piece of poo poo and should count your lucky stars that you're employed by them, when it comes to raise time. I have been unemployed for a week, and I am looking at going back to my old job for less money, and I couldn't be happier. There's definitely something to be said about quality of life, and most of the time an agency won't afford you that. I have heard the same story echoed over and over by friends at other agencies. I'd rather make less and go home on time, and not feel like poo poo at the end of the day.
