- Two faced management: Their management is usually polite, but most of them are two faced. They’ll smile at you and pretend that you’re doing a good job and then they’ll fire you without any warning. If they have an issue with you, they’ll still pretend that everything is okay just to be “polite” and avoid conflict, but then they’ll stab you in the back. Be careful with Remy and Margot. They’ll smile to you all the time as if they’re your friend and you never really know how they feel about you.
Horrible work quality: if their client knew how bad some of their work is, they probably wouldn’t have any clients. I have worked for many agencies, but had never worker for an agency that follows 0 best practices and wastes their clients’ money on things that obviously don’t work. They don’t even keep track of their clients’ advertising budgets.
Work life balance: I had never been asked to work weekends before working for this agency. They ask some of their employees to work on some tasks on both Saturday and Sunday.
- Clicky work environment: Most of their management team is made up of old college buddies. They’re all friends and treat each other differently than they treat other members of the team and the same rules don’t apply to them.
Micromanaging: This was hard for me because prior to working for them, I had worked for large agencies managing very large budgets, but they didn’t allow me to make any decisions on my own despite their lack of paid media knowledge. I was hired for a management position, but was treated more like an analyst and was just told what to do. Many times I was asked to do things that I knew would hurt my clients’ performance, but I had to do them because it’s what the CEO wanted. You basically have little input and just have to do what they tell you even if it’s wrong. It’s bad enough that their team has very little paid media experience.
Lack of communication: They don’t provide any feedback on how you’re performing. They either tell you that you’re doing well or don’t say anything at all.
Completely unreasonable and cold. I was let go for working remotely from another location while they don’t have an office and everyone works remotely. I was fired without any warnings and right before the holidays during a global pandemic. They have unwritten rules and I have read other comments from previous employees that were only employed for a short period. This company seems to be known for hiring and quickly firing their employees without warning. If you have any long term plans like I did of getting a mortgage, STAY AWAY.
