Pros
- The only pro was (most of) the team thanks to our shared disdain towards the work and management. They made the work day bearable.
Cons
- Overworked and underpaid for the amount of work (task distribution was terrible and made zero sense - certain colleagues were doing more than others but were paid less). - Expected to juggle 6+ clients at once and consistently overdeliver beyond scope - often required to create extra assets the client wasn’t even paying for, just to keep them happy. - Leadership lacks empathy and emotional intelligence. Genuine support is non existent. - Staff were made redundant or dismissed without warning or valid reason (multiple were right before their 6 month probations!). Witnessed staff being let go EOD and having to just pack up and leave. - Minimal onboarding. Be prepared to build out multiple decks and present to clients within your first few weeks, with little to no guidance or training. - Payroll errors were frequent: myself and others were underpaid super, taxed incorrectly, and had to chase up missing pay and miscalculated leave. - Promotions and pay rise promises were made to staff and rarely delivered (and are still being used to keep naive employees around). - You’re only recognised when you produce results, otherwise, you’re invisible (occasionally, not even a hello in the morning). - Very obvious favouritism. Certain employees received leniency or special treatment (including discreet sponsorship arrangements and hush hush leadership promotions). - Unclean and poorly maintained office. The fridge was a crime scene. Cleanliness is the bare minimum, but clearly not a priority. - Embarrassingly high turnover - 13 people left within 5 months and all were employed for less than a year.
