• Company culture has declined steadily since 2022.
• Very little room for pay increases over the past year or two. In fact, they've lost some incredibly talented people because they were unable and/or unwilling to compensate employees appropriately.
• They talk a big game about vision, but they vision is unclear and hard to grasp onto. This is made worse by the fact that many employees feel uncomfortable brining up their questions or worries with the direction of the agency.
• They recently brought in two "big names" the marketing world. Personally, I don't think they had the money to do this and they're hurting more than before.
• No benefits whatsoever. They've talked for a couple years now about adding benefits, but it never happened.
• Upper-leadership is impulsive and reactionary. Lower-leadership plays along. It actually started to feel like lower-leadership was losing their "pull" in decision making.
• Leadership also doesn't recognize ongoing issues and chooses to push past things without actually addressing them.
• Over the past 2-3 years, there was a growing sense of insecurity across multiple departments. It was brought up to leadership, but never really addressed. The company has since gone through multiple rounds of layoffs, a large acquisition of another agency, multiple exoduses of top employees, and is now only hiring in Latin America, presumably because they cannot afford US talent.
