How are the career development opportunities at The Media Image?

There are some pros, like some people are nice, some are helpful.

Managers aren't good managers but just good workers. Rarely any socials, despite advertised, no 'pizza parties', and no one goes into the office anymore... or very rarely people do (everyone, if not most, work remotely). This was advertised in the job spec and said in the interview. It's not really true. Roles don't pay well, even at account manager level. Annual reviews are critical and they expect a lot from you despite the pay is bad in comparison to other company's. High turnover rate. No training, or very little despite a new rotational scheme rollout. They micromanage you a lot. If you have appointments to attend to during work hours, they expect you to make this up at the end of the day. Benefits do not outweigh the cons. They rarely give you a pay rise and no bonuses despite generating millions for this company. They disguised a micro increase to your salary(due to inflation) as a 'bonus'. No career opportunities or progression.

- Remote working environment which can be a positive at times. - Accepts applicants with minimal to no real experience. Willing to train those who need it.

- Remote working environment (minimal sense of community) - No growth opportunities. If unhappy with compensation, you’ll be told to look elsewhere. - Typical agency grind. The only work life balance that matters is the work life balance of the clients you will service.

You can work from home

Limited flexibility in scheduling. In my experience, strong performance did not translate into meaningful progression opportunities. I also felt that proposing improvements or new ideas was not encouraged, and in some cases seemed to work against me rather than help. I also experienced an unresolved finance-related issue that, in my view, created a double-taxation problem. I raised the matter by email, but I did not receive a resolution. Overall, I felt that the company placed too much trust in certain internal decision-makers while giving limited consideration to concerns raised from lower levels of the organization. The experience disappointed me deeply. It was one of the reasons I decided I would rather work independently than have another employer again. If the company responds to this review, I hope readers understand that the problem was not that these concerns were never raised. They were. The people in a position to listen and help had opportunities to do so, and in my experience those opportunities were not used. That is exactly the kind of leadership and accountability issue I am describing.
