There is no such thing as a bad job in a bad agency. Agencies have clients and clients pay you. If they don’t understand you it’s your fault
Agencies have staff, some of them will be more important than you, they don’t want to make your life hell, they just want to meet their targets. If you help them do this they will leave you alone
Some staff are less important. Don’t take it for granted that they will do what you say. If you shout at them it wouldn’t make them faster, only grumpier and more prone to mistakes. You have to earn their respect.
Most of the people you work with an integrated agency aren’t more or less important than you, whatever it might say on your contract. They’re equal, and if you want their skill and experience, you have to play nice
Then there are the other agencies circling your clients, they definitely think they can do your job better than you, Keep an eye on them, they might have a point. Learn from them.
It’s a jungle and all you have is a pile of broken sticks. It’s going to be hard but interesting. It’s going to be different every time.
