MACLAREN MCCANN

A typical day would consist of tracking of each campaign budget and progress.  Conducting weekly status meetings, and meeting with client stakeholders.

I learned a great deal in this role.  What it takes to successfully delivery a good campaign, the amount of people involved, and how much work is required to launch a campaign.

The management team is very knowledgeable, and always very willing to teach and mentor.  The people are very enthusiastic, and full of creative energy.

The hardest part of the job is remembering to track your time spent on each campaign.  The most enjoyable is seeing the end result after having invested so much time and effort.

I received good job training when I was hired.  Additional job training
was constantly available in the company by means of different classes i.e.. excel, word, media work shops etc.  At the time I left the company I had accumulated five weeks vacation in addition to summer hours.  The supervisors were respectful of their employees and job communication between departments was good.

I was hired as an Account Supervisor with no previous experience.  I received little direction as to what I was supposed to be doing, and to this day have no idea what I was supposed to be doing.  On hindsight, they might have just hired me as a warm body so that they could bill hours to the client.   They play favorites, and the leadership team works you to the bone by overpromising the client.  

•	A/P Cycle – Accurately completely full cycle
•	Reviewing all invoices and ensuring all authorization is attached to continue processing.
•	Prepare & Process weekly journal entries & Completion of weekly cheque & EFT runs
•	Perform vendor statement reconciliations & Month end GL account reconciliations.
•	General office duties such as filing, photocopying, faxing, mail etc.

Liaising with client and internal departments.
Working on TV, print and radio campaigns.
I learned to multi task.
My co-workers were very co-operative and helpful.
Hardest part of the job was long hours without any overtime.
Most enjoyable part was the work and my co-workers.

Best place to work if you just graduated.

Good and friendly Work environment.

Good place if you looking to build up your work experience for short terms contracts.

No incremental salary. Hard Work doesn't get any recognition. 

Not good for long term job.as you will on same pay after 5 years or 10 years.

I am part of a team of 12 people in the finance department.  our company is an advertising agency, specializing in events promotion.  Even though the atmosphere is relaxed, we do have those last minute crisis involved in events staging.

I do not really know what to write about this place because they did hire me in the first place.

But I have very mixed feelings about my time after being with them for 1.5 years. 

I definitely recommend doing your research and ask HR tough questions on what your getting into.  


The work environment / culture is dry and boring, not exciting at all.

Senior staff makes it difficult for more junior employees. 

Career advancement opportunities are low.  

A place to work in you are a new grad and have no work experience.

expect a high turnover rate, long hours and low moral. Working with large clients has benefits but all of the companies we work with are very looking for low risk projects and investments which makes it hard to create good creative.
