Pros
I worked at The Entourage for a few short months, and it was a horrible experience. There are some nice and intelligent people that work there, however they were few and far between, or too scared of management to provide any legitimate support. The number one pro however, would be that leaving the Entourage has given me a greater appreciation for healthy work cultures, because upon leaving my mental and emotional health has greatly improved.
Cons
Where do I even start... The amount of bullying, threatening, manipulation, sexual harassment, inappropriate behaviour, sexism, misogyny and fake personalities (to name a few) I experienced in this toxic workplace were second to none. KEY EXPERIENCES: - My directory constantly berated me for the slightest mistakes / miscommunication, but would celebrate my hard work in front of the whole company at their "Made it Happen" Friday afternoon meetings. - There is absolutely no management responsibility, and if something fails it falls on the low ranking employees. - I witnessed young female staff receiving inappropriate messages or behaviour from senior male staff. - There is NO HR team, and majority of directors and managers are unequipped to manage a team, so no one can give you support. - The workload is ridiculously high and you are expected to work yourself to breaking point. If you don't, then you're portrayed as not pulling your load and your job security is threatened. If you reach out for help, they will tell you to "lean in" (also something they say to clients who are not seeing results) and then nothing changes. - The organisation offers no flexibility. Forget having a life outside work, otherwise your commitment to the organisation and its "cause" is questioned. Feels like a cult. - There is minimal autonomy or freedom to do your job. You will constantly feel like you have management breathing down your back. I left within months. The friends that I made left within months. Many of the only friendly and hard-working people in this organisation left within months. Please don't work here.
