Pros

Office hours are 9-5 Mon to Friday, weekends and holidays off

Cons

CEO runs everything and trusts no one, not even his loyal and senior employees. No respect for employees, curses at them when things dont work out (mainly because he sets unrealistic client and employee expectations). There's a bad vibe in the office, everyone is stressed, unhappy and afraid of the CEO. Treats everyone like they're replaceable and even says it to their faces. Very high turnover. Stress level is high in all departments, not enough people and too much work. Owner is cheap and doesn't want to hire more people and current employees are all underpaid and over worked. Make sure to discuss vacation time and time off in your interview and contacts. They only pay accrued vacation, not annual...no matter your tenure. This means if you want a 2 week or 1 week vacation, you would have to wait until towards the end of the year or else you will have to take unpaid days since you havent accumulated enough time. Nothing is as advertised or discussed in your interview. They lie to cover up and reel you in. No room or opportunity for growth, you might even lose your skills since they dont allow you to do what it is they hired you for. Projects get taken away from you with no warning and for no reason. Lack of structure, no processes in place. They just wing it. There's no training, you get yelled at when you do something wrong even though you weren't told what is right or wrong. They change the process or their minds about things as they please.

Hi there, we are sorry to hear you feel this way about your time at Lime Advertising. Our small boutique advertising agency isn’t for everyone and we understand you didn’t enjoy your time with us. Nevertheless, our CEO and staff members have always valued each other and everybody continues to treat each other with the utmost respect and trust. That’s why we’ve been fortunate enough to retain some of our staff members for 15 years. Like any workplace, we go to work to get results for our clients. Providing clients 100% effort and taking pride in our work is a minimum requirement for our team. We won’t lie; working in modern-day advertising is no walk in the park. Albeit a fast-paced industry that is always changing, working at Lime provides dedicated employees plenty of rewards, growth opportunities, and respect. Regarding vacation, our practices are in line with many other Canadian employers. Again, thank you for submitting your feedback.

Didn't experience much negative experiences here. At times, you may feel overwhelmed, but that goes in any agency setting... However, you will ALWAYS have a helping hand from the team.

Hi there, thank you for taking the time to share your positive experience working with Lime Advertising. It’s fantastic to hear you enjoyed your time with us. As a small agency, we are only as strong as the people we employ. So it’s great to hear you enjoyed being a part of our team, learning lots in turn. Our valued clients come from diverse industries so no working day is ever the same. Like you mention, working in an advertising agency isn’t always plain sailing. To keep all the plates spinning for clients can be tough at times, but we always pride ourselves on helping each other as a team. This way, we can keep clients happy and achieve our combined objectives, together. We wish you the very best for the future.

Pros

Well its work that pays.

Cons

Honestly anyone who center justifies any piece of work is out of touch. A lot of fake it till you make it over here. New clients and new hires beware ;) Talk is cheap.
