Please Don't Work Here- Toxic Environment

Senior marketing operations associate

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

There are no pros, this hurts your mental health

Cons

I worked at EY for 7 months, and it was an extremely toxic work environment. Being in marketing isolated our team from all others. They had a very fraternity like culture where you had to prove yourself to earn your place and "pay your dues". They do not have good communication on performance, or guidance. It is a very sink or swim environment. I am currently a seasoned marketer at a top agency, and used to being in a large/fast paced corporate environment. This was a company I would never advise anyone should go to. The culture, pay, and hours are all cons and not worth having the experience on the resume. Additionally, I found no diversity on my team. I felt discriminated against which led to me being pushed out. If I could rate this review negative stars I would. Save your time, and please do not apply.

Pros

None- unless you like to do nothing 80% of the time and get underpaid

Cons

Pretty much everything is a con about being sold the EY dream and being stuffed in a "sweat shop" referred to as the Solution Delivery Center. The first indication that you are being PLAYED is a salary around 40K in the Alpharetta area and 39K in JAX Florida. You will be sold on a role that fits your idea of a consultant- NOT TRUE. You will come to the office see some nice people and if you decide to come you will be disappointed. There is one major project in the center that dominates the firm- if you are not on this project you are SCREWED and if you are- you are SCREWED. So either you work long hours for little pay - 40k remember that. Or you are benched for 8 months out of the year- real EY people will say that is because they are trying to push you out. NOT- actually i received a very good review and a 4k raise and 2k bonus- WHAT DOES THAT DO FOR ME- NOTHING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. What they are doing at this center should be a crime. To lure in well performing students under the name EY when really this is just a crappy start up that will use you and teach you absolutely NOTHING! In my two years here I can tell you how to copy and paste. So if you read all the way down here - here is my advice DONT DO IT! Not many projects False expectations Very low salary Leadership does not care

Pros

Leaving was a good experience. The place is a cult that that I managed to escape before I blew my GD brains out. I cannot describe the horror. I suppose one could argue that the pay wasn't bad, but then one has to ask himself or herself, "How much is my soul worth?"

Cons

The people, the work and the hours - other than that, it was great. Everyone is so obsessed with their next promotion that they can't even have a conversation that doesn't have something to do with work. If you asked most of the people what they do in their spare time, they spend their spare time wishing there was more they could do for EY. The place is like North Korea.
