APRW Reviews

The boss is very distant from the team; not being in office is one thing, but it's another to not be present. It's usually hard to reach her to get clearance for items - sometimes this leads to you being scolded by client even though it was something your boss had to do (and you already reminded her multiple times). Negative work-life-balance. The amount of work is inane, you will have enough work that fills your time from 9-6 from retainer clients and regular day-to-day, but after 6pm it's time to do pitches. Sometimes it goes up to 10+ pitches in a month - and if you're in the content & creative team this means OT on top of your OT If the longest lasting member on the team said that they are still here because they don't need to interact with the boss, something is wrong. If there are new generations of teams (where every 2-3 years, it's a totally new team with no seniors), something is wrong..

Director never around, no mentorship provided, always away on personal appointments. Even clients are fed up that she is missing.. junior staff have to answer for her.. digital team already so overworked but new accounts + pro bono work just keep adding on.. too stressful here with no regard for employee's wellbeing, a lot of lip service but no real steps taken to manage workloads.. Director a lot of the time out of touch with the team and the work and industry trends. Agency leadership also not as progressive and forward thinking as what is written on website.. bewware..
