i think the larger an agency is the more inept you have to be to work there.

or maybe you just need to sign contracts before hand and charge them for rush jobs. take the stress out of it.

good point Soler, but some clients just aren't into that and they are big enough that they don't have to be
" you can't do it for me under my guidelines? we'll there are twenty people in line over here who want the 1.2m in work so see ya!"
it's mainly just the arrogance coupled with the ignorance.

so, who are you talking to? Dude = ur ass is getting burned friday cuz for the top dogs in a large agency it is your responsibility to get the stuff u need to do your job. It is the agency's to provide it sure = just how effective are u working with them?
U think working like this will guarantee u r the 1st in line for their next big job?
If you are talking to junior level people, ask for a meeting with them and their seniors and just be professional about pointing out that this is not working, and how to fix it. Large agencies are very very skilled at passing the bucket down stream. And you are very much down stream.
save u skin on this, cuz it looks as bad on u as it will on them, but they are bigger.

how effective am i working them?
as effective as possible without flying to their fucking head quarters and doing it myself.
it's just annoying. no concept of what it takes to make the job happen.

That's why they farmed it out to you. You need something, Keep asking for it from the person who has it. If they still don't get it to you. Next person up the ladder gets a phone/email about the deadline not getting met because you don't have what you need. As long as your professional about it and are Not surprising them on friday with no product. Then it's good. But for sure, warn them that you can't finish without this, this, this, and that. CYA
