Unethical. Unprofessional. Political & backstabbing. Mediocre compensation. Kool-aid culture. No professional growth. High turnover. Siloed teams. Deceitful leadership. Unstable, even hostile management... Friendly on the surface, but very tense workplace.
Leadership team used to say “everyone has a voice here”, but never backed up the work culture they professes to have, and in actuality couldn’t care less about the employees. They hire young and inexperienced people to keep it cheap, and it’s a very “us-versus-them” mentality (VP / director club vs disposable employees). They also don’t believe in hiring a sales team ($), and fail to secure deals, but blame the employees when things go wrong.
A few bad apples can spoil the whole bunch at any company, and lack of office-attendance from higher-ups allow these hostile individuals to say and do anything they want... There is no real HR nor office management, and since directors and higher-ups rarely show up to the office, you're on your own to deal with said individuals. Sexist and ageist remarks often encountered. Workplace is often unstable and chaotic if you're on the wrong team (ie not a director or VP working at home).
If your job is valued, you may be treated like royalty. If not, you are disposable, and YOU WILL BE TOLD SO and treated so. Work fluctuates from 12-hour days with late night terrors to no workload due to declining business. Agency only does email marketing, which becomes redundant and is often disorganized, despite all the hoops to jump through in the online task management system to get anything done. Time logging system is bad and constantly harped on, with rules constantly changing.
