Sad end - Product Marketing Manager Avery UK Employee Review

Some decent people in the team

Terrible company. Staff treated appallingly. Communications poor to non existent. The worst experience I have had in my 30 year career. They have expanded to a level they can't cope with and the staff are suffering.

Some of the newer people are really nice and easy to get on with. Some marketing budgets are quite generous

- Not a digitally-first company (as much as they say they are) - Departments are silo-ed. There's no real involvement of other departments and it can be difficult to get the job done because of this - Offline/sales are favourited over people in the digital department (ridiculous when sales haven't hit their own KPIs in years and are in a declining market). - The leadership team should be gone. They aren't fufilling the brief and are horrible line managers - No movement or career opportunities available. Don't think you can get promoted or get decent money for the work you're doing (everyone I worked with was underpaid). - No work life balance except if you have kids. Only then are people allowed to not hit targets. - Management think a nice compliment once a quarter makes up for the fact people are overworked, underpaid and not supported (especially in meetings with other departments)
