This was my first experience working at an agency, so I didn’t have much to compare it to. At first, things seemed okay, but there were early signs that it wouldn’t be a positive experience. The writer I replaced had only been there for three months before quitting due to the team culture, which, in hindsight, was a red flag.
Unfortunately, I ultimately made the same decision due to workplace bullying from peers, micromanagement, and unfair treatment. The experience took a toll on my confidence as a writer. Thankfully, I moved on to another agency where I earn more and have had a significantly better experience.
In my case, I believe the issues were specific to my team, but I strongly recommend that anyone considering a role here ask about turnover rates and the reasons behind them. It could provide valuable insight into the work environment.
