Pros

- Success is entirely based on manager and which team you are on. - The location is great and they have pool tables, free coffee and snacks and a really creative office. - Salary was fair.

Cons

I read previous reviews before joining Ansira and thought to myself that the bad things I read were likely related to which team you were on. Please read carefully because this is all true. - No Leadership of Growth: Managers/Supervisors are not training for leadership. They are demeaning, aggressive, don't handle their emotions well and are unreliable. Your managers equip you for growth and that isn't the case at Ansira. - Not Innovative:. They repeat campaigns without looking for new ideas or beneficial ways for the client to succeed. Decisions are based on poor team allocation and what's easiest...that's not what makes marketing campaigns successful. You hire smart people, use them appropriately. - No Culture: No one talks to anyone outside of their team. It's a very large organization so you get lost in the weeds. There are not many opportunities to mix and mingle at this agency. Employees often talk poorly of the agency which is awkward and uninviting. This omits collaboration and culture. - HR hires for immediate needs and not based on talents. I was placed on a team that did one channel when my experience is cross-channel marketing. A new opening came within the agency that fit me perfectly - I had client relations with this client company and vast knowledge and experience of their channels. I was immediately told no when requesting a transfer and that it's protocol to wait 6 months. Protocol trumps employee and client success. After a short time at Ansira I knew this was NOT a place for a digital marketer to grow. Trust the bad reviews.

I am sorry this wasn't the right opportunity for you at this time. We are working on Leadership Development, Career Development and Culture as mentioned in the July All Hands meeting with updates on next steps rolling out soon.

Fun place to work, a lot of younger people, so that helps with getting to know everyone. They are going through a lot of changes that seem to make people believe good changes are coming.

Cons

They really need to step up their salaries

Pros

Lots of exciting changes happening at Ansira! We have a new swanky office space with perks like standing desks, free snacks/drinks, access to the mall and fun collaborative work zones. Most importantly, Ansira is investing a lot to implement operational changes to improve work life balance for employees and make the company more efficient and effective as a whole. The Kaizen workshops have done a great job of empowering employees from all levels and departments to brainstorm positive change for the company. Voices are being heard and making a difference! Ansira has also made several executive level management changes that seem to be aligning the right people to bring positive growth to the company. I have hope that these changes will breathe new energy and culture into Ansira. It's exciting to see it happening and be a part of it!

Cons

There has been a lot of unfortunate turnover and bitter employees in the past because these changes have been needed for a long time.

It is great to hear feedback from the Kaizen workshops that you and others are feeling empowered and your voices are being heard to help make positive changes. Change is inevitable in our work and personal lives when we approach change with an open mind and a positive attitude we find better solutions to our daily challenges. Thank you for the feedback!
