Pros

You will be employed You will be payed for your work You will have healthcare If you work in campaign operations, you will work with great people

Cons

You will have no work life balance, but will be shamed for working overtime as it goes out of scope, despite the whole reason for working so many hours being the amount of work put on your plate Your pay will be magnitudes below market, raises will be as minimal as they can get away with, and bonuses are dependent on the people at the top not messing things up any further so don't hold your breath Your healthcare benefits will be minimal and decrease in coverage and quality for the cost as time goes on You will watch the great people you work with be abused by clients with no intervention from leadership, spin their wheels trying to execute on last minute or poorly prepared requests, and burn out as they continue to "consolidate" teams, asking every person to do more and more with less and less

Thank you for your feedback and perspective. You have given a lot in your review, and I invite you to contact me directly to address the multiple items herein. Many things you have posted about are not exactly as you have described, but I understand and respect your perspective, and I will look to how we can make sure that we do a better communications job to help employees understand things in our PTO plan and what we are doing with our survey results. We have work to do on this, and I thank you for the direction of continued work we can do to better our culture for all employees. I wish you the best in whatever is next for you, and please feel free to reach out to me anytime. -Michelle Hytry, Director of HR

Pros

Shift as an org seems well organized and connected. Upper management is open and transparent with the company about shifts in direction or situation. Local management is fantastic. I love every single PM I work with, and feel good about the team members I work with. Local teams communicate regularly, including daily status check ins, and regular 1:1 meetings. The effort Shift puts into selecting quality individuals really shows to me, a industry veteran. I also like that this is a "Cameras On" meeting type company.

Cons

As a West-Coast resident, I find myself working East-Coast hours, but that is not a con per-se with Shift, just my arrangement.

Pros

Mostly good people, good opportunities if you are liked by the OG LMD crew

Cons

Unless you are well known to upper management, you don't matter. This company went from a small, family-like agency to a large corp only focused on sales.

Thank you for your time in giving this feedback. We recognize that this response is delayed, but we have been working diligently to fix many of the issues you mentioned above. We have regular Ask Me Anything meetings with the CEO, Liz, and many good conversations have been had. We have conducted an organizational-wide survey and have task teams working to implement new initiatives. Work will be ongoing as we value our employees and the work they do for our customers.
