Red Ventures reviews

I titled my review "I met Wizard" because when you first come into Red Ventures, it is like landing in Oz. Everything is exciting and the possibilities seem endless. Then you find out that you are being paid well below industry averages, you're told that your opinions are valuable but no action is taken on them and the opportunity to burn out is high.

- Highly micro-managed - Too many checkpoints which slowed progress - I will never interview again w/o meeting the leader I work under - Highly political - High ego at all levels; especially amongst senior associates - Too much time spent on manual reports and presentations - Over-thinking at all levels - Too many cooks in the kitchen (60 VPs and 120 Directors lurking around and questioning your every move) - Leaders have to practice/train before speaking with CEO and this mentality trickles down; not sure why we can't just be ourselves? After all, he's just a normal guy. - Lack of brand expertise - No loyalty - Always proving yourself or your work (lack of trust) - Not a great place if you’re advanced in your career - Didn’t meet a single friend that extended outside of the workplace which has never happened to me in my long career - First time I have never experienced great success or earned respect in my long career - Publicly shamed (people are exposed in front of groups); not me personally but I saw and heard of it happening - Very long hours (60+ p/week) - Working here will define who you are in and outside of work. It’s all-consuming and your friends and family (at least in my situation) will be wondering what happened to your spirit.
