The Kindest Agency You'll Ever Work At - Anonymous employee Agency H5 Employee Review

I've worked here for multiple years and have loved being mentored by both senior leaders and collaborating with younger colleagues. Every company TALKS about culture but very few LIVE it...and the senior leaders at H5 today are excellent reflections of the 5 values that our founder put in place long ago to ensure a happy and healthy company. The office environment over the past two months has changed drastically due to some necessary leadership changes that appear to have been made to protect the "kindness culture" instilled at our firm. The vibe has never been better or more positive. Everyone here works so hard, has fun and loves our clients. We strive to only work with people and on business we truly care about and our clients see that and appreciate it. It's been a wonderful place to work due to the people that work here every single day. Very thankful to be part of this place and excited for the next chapter. I appreciate this place every minute I work here.

We might not be a "big global agency" so there are benefit trade-offs but the people from the top down make it a true family and there aren't any con's that would make me ever want to stop working here.

Nice office location, other interns were nice

From day one, it was clear that this workplace thrives on cliques. Most employees formed tight-knit groups that were unwelcoming to outsiders, particularly interns. Gossip was constant. People regularly spoke poorly about coworkers and clients. Unfortunately, management not only ignored the toxicity but also enabled it. Despite being made aware of the unprofessional behavior, leadership chose to look the other way. They appeared far more interested in maintaining the status quo than in supporting a healthy or respectful work environment. As for the internship itself, it was incredibly disappointing. We were promised hands-on experience and mentorship, but the reality was far from it. Our days were mostly filled with menial tasks, including washing dishes, picking up lunches, and running errands for the full-time employees. There was no learning or guidance, and no effort was made to integrate us into the company's actual work. This internship wasn't a stepping stone into the industry. It was a lesson in how not to run a business or treat people. If you're looking for a place to grow, be mentored, or be treated with basic respect, this is not it.
