Zero respect for employees here... - Anonymous Employee- Former Employee Herman-Scheer Employee Review

Herman-Scheer is a tight-knit and talented creative team that truly cares about the work. The team is a delight to work with: good-natured, genuine, and full of interesting, sharp individuals across disciplines. Leadership encourages initiative and supports experimentation, making it a great environment for self-starters who want to take ownership and help shape a growing agency.

The high expectations and fast pace can be challenging to those without strong self-direction. The agency is still evolving, which means the people who are successful here are comfortable with a level of ambiguity and excited by trying new things.

A few kind teammates try to support each other against the chaos.

- Office cliques dominate everything, and anyone outside the inner circle becomes a target. - Some managers shield favorites while ignoring hard-working employees, creating constant frustration and resentment. - Transparency is nearly nonexistent, and passive aggression hits instantly once you stop agreeing with every decision. - Skilled employees get sidelined while unqualified staff rise simply for staying silent. - Financial decisions make no sense and destroy any trust in the system. - Feedback quickly turns into personal attacks when it challenges someone higher up. - Meetings feel like performances where listening is fake and no real change occurs. - The mood swings unpredictably depending on who is present, forcing everyone to tread carefully to avoid unfair punishment. - It is exhausting to focus on work while navigating a system that rewards the wrong people and punishes honesty and integrity.
