Media Cause Response

Thank you for your feedback. While our learning curve is steep, our aim is for entry-level employees to ramp up quickly by completing a comprehensive training program prior to working directly on accounts. This helps ensure that our clients are consistently supported by folks with a high level of expertise. We do acknowledge that mentorship from senior level staff might not be available on a daily basis and encourage employees to work closely alongside our account management team for support. Employees can also take advantage of intranet resources, which include our best practices, processes, and expectations for every level of employment at Media Cause - all of which are shared with new hires on their first day at Media Cause. Diversity is a priority. Our director-level staff is 60% female, and some employees were born outside of the US. Furthermore, the launch of our Fellowship Program reinforces our commitment to building a diverse team. We also acknowledge that Media Cause is not the ideal environment for everyone to thrive. During the first three months of employment, all new hires (from entry-level staff to senior management) are specifically given less work as they acclimate to the pace of creating impact at Media Cause. For some folks, our fast-paced environment is the perfect fit. For others, it is not.
