Pros

Lovely offices, good parking, well stocked kitchen for all staff.

Cons

Have to agree with every word the previous person said. CEO and MD run the company with no trust in staff. People in the clique don't even deserve the freedom they get because they really aren't that great at their jobs. work life balance is a joke. CEO has no filter and disregards people telling her things in confidence. A6 has gone through more Creative Directors than any company i've ever worked for, its just a sausage factory and no regard for creative thinking - what she says goes!

April Six Response

Thank you for your comments, I am sorry to hear that you didn’t feel you had a good experience here. We absolutely want our employees to build their long-term careers at April Six, and look after the personal development of all of our employees with training, annual appraisals and KPIs as part of that process. We have a new HR Director joining us in the next month to further develop this. As with any services business, we work hard, but do not believe that should be at the expense of people’s personal lives, and have implemented mechanisms to ensure that people are supported and have clear ways of raising any concerns. We also want every person to be heard and valued equally – creativity is the lifeblood of our business, so we ensure there is an open platform to encourage the sharing ideas from across the business. Indeed, in an anonymous staff survey last year, 85% of our people said there is a culture of respect here. We are always happy to receive feedback that we can learn from. If you would like to discuss this further please do contact me at employeerelations@aprilsix.com Many thanks, Fiona, CEO

Pros

Most people were nice and kind. My manager was okay and as supportive as they could be. It wasn't the worst place to work.

Cons

Leadership and new business management felt non existent. Truly did not feel secure with that team leading the ship. did not feel heard or like my insight mattered. Scopes never made sense and were so vague and their clients take advantage every time. Absolutely no boundaries. It's comical. Often times the work they were doing might as well have been free. You wonder why profits are low and clients jump ship to better agencies?!
