Supportive team, but limited growth opportunities - Search Specialist Reshift Media Employee Review

- Chill, laid back work environment. - Kind coworkers who genuinely care. - Plenty of exciting clients to work on.

- Severely underpaid. - Absentee CEO who's incredibly arrogant and treats new hires/junior members with lack of respect/value; your input and questions feel don't feel validated and are brushed off as if they don't matter - YOU don't matter to the company since you are not senior staff. - Poor training, very hands off approach. - No onboarding to clients upon hiring, simply thrown into fire with no support and then scolding in a condescending tone when asking for assistance/context to what is going on. - Poor benefits. - Mismanaged client demands by hire-ups leading to constant last second changes w/ plenty of stress and pressure trickle down to workers. - Poor team communication and lack of clear and defined goals. - Office is "open concept" yet everyone crammed together like sardine cans. Very loud, hard to focus, and no equipment provided. - Teams are very siloed, hard to feel connected to the rest of the agency. - No HR team, if you have a complaint too bad. - No room for growth. - Extremely outdated approach and tools that they genuinely encourage putting you at a learning disadvantage in the industry (I learned more in my first 2 months at the agency I moved to vs my entire career here, eventually growing into a director over the years, leasing major national brands. If I was still there I'd never have gotten the opportunity or competitive learnings to grow). - High turnover rate - unsurprising given the lengthy list of cons and overall toxic environment that caters to higher ups while the trainees and newer highers are chewed up. Other works during my time expressed interest in other opportunities and wanting to "get out". 1 of which warned myself to "run before it's too late" while I was still new.

- Great coworkers, excellent teams overall - Projects are exciting to work at, never dull - Chill environment for the most part

- Pay across the board for newcomers at the company is below standard industry rates in North American major cities - CEO is always applying for awards but never giving bonuses to employees - Sometimes projects are mismanaged due to changes in client demands at the last hour - CEO never gives incentives/bonuses at End-of-Year, always keeps talking about how many awards the company won and how 'great' the experience of the clients are - A lot of the communication is top-down, CEO pretends he's 'all ears' to people but it's only to his clique and most of the business decisions are made by the clique - If you're not a senior member of the company, expect to have your input as worth as an outsider's - Expect the CEO to say nothing but 'good job' when projects are completed and not give any bonuses - Can confirm the other review's mention about only have 2 weeks worth of vacation days - A lot of issues come up with clients, often times causing major project issues across the board
