The job description was very misleading.
I was hired for a marketing role, but it ended up
being more of an administrative position with a focus CRM.
I was also told it would be a 9–5 role, but once I started, the main focus was on covering weekend shifts to ensure all other team members’ campaigns went live. Weekends were the busiest time of the week, and since some campaigns had just launched, there was a high level of coordination required to make sure everything went live as scheduled.
There was no formal training, so I was expected to figure things out on my own right away.
On weekends, which were the busiest time of the week, I was responsible for half of the department’s campaign launches while the rest of the team was offline.
There was poor communication with upper management and constant approval bottlenecks, which, combined with tight deadlines made the work environment difficult.
