Very disappointing

Pros

- Hard-working and young colleagues - Client-facing role - Good exposure to industry updates & best practices

Cons

- Highly demanding position for a really low pay. - Under-resourced teams with undertrained managers. - Hard to push back on clients requests ( even if they are unreasonable). Other agencies are better at ensuring that junior teams isn’t overwhelmed with work. - No time to attend trainings as we are constantly prioritising client requests. - Always someone on holiday meaning you have to cover for their work. If the work balance was respected, maybe people wouldn’t feel the need to take that many days off?? - Working hours aren’t respected like they are in other agencies. People work regularly overtime without complaining about it. You have no choice as you are dealing with 2-3 clients minimum at a time. If you care so much about mental health, please make sure that people aren’t working overtime.

Rapid Growth, Rapid Turnover

Pros

The people here are genuinely kind, truly talented and intelligent. There is definitely team spirit here.

Cons

After merging several times in recent months, workload grew and employees suffered. There began a shift of employee centric management to profit centric management. Pay is okay but as turnover increases people get stretched too thin. This is not the company it once was.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. Agreed with you that the people here are fantastic! You're right that we are growing quickly, which unfortunately creates growing pains both from a capacity and structure standpoint. To support our dynamic agency needs, we have a monthly staffing review where we review capacity and staffing requests from our hive leads and department heads. Additionally, we continue to review and action feedback received from the team so we can continue to improve as a company!

Wonderful to hear that you are enjoying our culture! We regularly benchmark and evaluate our salaries against the market to ensure that we're paying our team well, and ultimately doing what we can to retain our team. I would encourage you to reach out to your HR rep to discuss your specific concerns so we can better support you!
