Pros
The wonderful women I worked with (excluding upper management).
Cons
Genuinely where do I start. My time at Implico was one of the most horrific experiences I've ever had, namely due to the abuse and gaslighting that both I and many other former (and current) employees suffered at the hands of upper management, who suffer from the worst cases of narcissism I've ever seen and genuinely feels joy at causing others pain, primarily young women in their first or second jobs. When I interviewed here, I was told something absolutely sickening: "I fired all of the older people who worked on my team and decided to start fresh. It's easier to force young people to do more work." This is a sweatshop. Upper management expects salaried employees to work every second of every day, even during time off, because they knows that they can milk more work from them for free. However, unfortunately they are also completely unaware of what their employees are doing and will frequently claim that you are not working enough when you are in reality going above and beyond just to keep them from firing you. Word to the wise: nothing you do will be enough, not even 12 hour days or working weekends. They will fire you unceremoniously sooner or later. And, as they are cheap and wants the millions her company is making to go directly to them instead of funding a successful, functioning business, each and every employee is overwhelmed to an extreme extent due to a lack of proper staffing and unrealistic expectations. As nearly every employee is doing the job of at least three people, mistakes do happen. However, there is a toxic culture surrounding mistakes here, as other reviews mention. Upper management demonstrates a complete lack of awareness of their own company's procedures, as well as possesses the inability to comprehend simple information. They are unable to understand what is being asked when approached with questions, which is likely why they hate employees who have any and criticize them for "not being able to work independently." They do not know how to effectively run a team, frequently swear at and publicly shame employees for not only making minor mistakes but also for mistakes they’ve decided to blame on them, and brags about making employees cry. The irony is, I frequently had to fix upper management’s errors, all of which, had the mistakes been mine, would have gotten me threatened and degraded, or even fired. Furthermore, all of the reviews stating that she regularly drinks in the office are true. There is an alcoholic in upper management who and frequently goes on alcohol induced rages degrading, insulting, and swearing at employees both publicly and privately via teams. All of the negative reviews here encompass the reality of what it's like working at Implico Communications. The positive reviews are fake. Upper management begs current employees to leave reviews when the former employees she's abused speak out on Glassdoor. Truly, I cannot warn you away from this place enough. This job will take your freedom, your happiness, your joy, and your sanity. It will have you doubting your worth, believing them when they say that you're incompetent and stupid, and missing out on months, possibly years of your life. It will leave you numb and crying at your desk day in and day out. Stay away from this place. Upper management are the cruelest, most sinister group of women I've ever met in my life. Not to mention they are ableist and racist and frequently make putrid comments in the office. To current Implico employees: you are talented and worthy. You deserve to find a place that recognizes your talents and if you are ever feeling alone, please reach out. You are incredible and no one deserves to go through what we went through / are going through.
