Flackable Response
5yWe are sorry to hear that your entry-level experience with us during the COVID-19 pandemic did not meet your standards and expectations. With that said, the personal nature of this review is really unfortunate, as are the number of falsehoods, which include deliberate mischaracterizations of our structure, model and the position you held.
Our account coordinator role is a full-time, salaried account management position which includes employee benefits, paid holidays and an unlimited paid time off policy coordinated among colleagues. Account coordinators receive one-on-one guidance and multiple scheduled group development sessions each month. Account coordinators also receive a limited workload compared to their more senior colleagues to provide them with more time for independent research and learning.
In order to have success at Flackable, you need to perform at your best when receiving a high level of independence paired with a high level of accountability. Many entry-level account coordinators need a traditional office structure and micromanagement to be successful – that’s understandable – but those types are simply not a good fit here. We are candid about that on our website and throughout the interview process to avoid employment situations that are unproductive and incongruent, much like the one you described.
We typically attract qualified, passionate and talented public relations professionals who thrive in our model, do amazing work for our clients, bond with their colleagues and earn advancement in as little as a few months to a year. And regarding your comments on employment separation, while we are unlikely to throw a going away party for an employee who exits after less than six months, nobody retaliated against you in any way. You can see from other reviews that we maintain a great relationship with the majority of our former employees. Again, we are sorry to hear that your career did not start out the way you imagined it would. We hope you have better luck somewhere else.
