A lot of toxic "girl boss" energy, too many in-person company events, and senseless spending from the CEO. The CEO also does not have as much experience as she claims. Poor leadership direction and unethical firing/demotion practices, especially if you don't agree with the CEO. Someone was demoted without any warning, with their pay drastically decreased. They had about two days to accept their new "offer" of decreased pay and were not given any chances beforehand to improve their performance. The interview process takes several months, and most of the team does not have marketing experience. This was a white-label marketing agency, and it's very clear that white-labeling does not work. The pay rates do not match up with industry standards and experience. The no-expectation Fridays mean it's hard to get ahold of anyone if you choose to work on a Friday. The 35-hour work week is not as progressive as it seems. Studies have shown that 4-day work weeks are typically 32 hours/week. The 35 hours here means cramming in nearly 9 hours of work in 4 days. PTO was only 7 days, but you can take unlimited unpaid time off.
