Fetch Reviews

When I first started at fetch a couple of years ago I really enjoyed it, however my manager is really unapproachable and best pals with HR as well as being a 'favourite' so it's impossible to go to anyone with concerns. There is a culture of holding grudges - I've seen it happen to other people and I don't want it to happen to me so I'm leaving as soon as the right job comes up. They also ignore all rumours about law suits despite the fact the whole industry is talking about it - this explains the recent low (or in some cases no) pay rises. I don't see how they can recover being a half decent company to work for without a white wash of BDs/directors - I don't understand how they think it's acceptable to send account execs home with hours more work to do from home in the evening all the time.

No clear direction. Trying to do everything has resulted in a lack of focus or speciality. Frequent pay freezes and promotion blocks from parent company. Though if you come in from outside expect to be paid more than existing staff. Some employees earn more then they’re line managers....... Awful hiring policy. Management telling us parent company are saying no but then telling parent company we are over staffed. Parent company blocking the rehiring of staff / hiring new people when we win new clients Result being we rely on contractors because no one left has the skills needed to run certain channels yet are still pitching for this business with clients (ppc...) Half the GAD’s are clueless with horrible people management skills. Horrible to the specialists. Horrible to their own team. Actively ignore their team coming to them with problems and tell senior management they’re not the problem its their own team / specialist teams. Blame cast on specialists with no understanding of their ability’s and restrictions. Mix of skills from AD and below. Many junior staff arrogant about their own abilities because they have learned badly from their bosses. Unfortunately these are the ones getting rewarded above the rest. Other heads of department clueless about day to day running of accounts and what people need. Instead resort to sending aggressive emails blaming people of problems without understanding. Global leadership team who cared about their people have now either gone or are on maternity leave.
