Ego Driven - The influence of one owner's personal opinions overshadows strategic decision-making, best practices, and reasonable goal setting.
Processes - While processes are in place, their implementation can be inconsistent, especially for internal projects.
Digital Awareness - The company has a more traditional agency mindset and may not always prioritize digital strategies.
Lack of Clearly Defined Roles - Although roles are defined, there can be overlap and confusion in their implementation.
Low Morale - Employees often feel undervalued and overworked. Poor leadership, lack of communication, and a toxic work environment have led to high turnover and a general sense of dissatisfaction.
The Work - The company has the potential to produce truly outstanding work, given some of the talent there. However, a lack of creative freedom and restraints put in place by the Chief Creative Officer hinders the realization of this potential.
CCO - I'll second what another reviewer said -- "Chief Creative Officer is extremely controlling, and causes panic and havoc for the entire company. If you're not in his favor, you're in for threats, layoffs, or career stagnation."
