Pros
Salary Remote work Flexible hours
Cons
Everything. Lack of creative freedom. One position but multiple roles in one. Everything needs action right away and everything’s changing (as in, we went through 6/7 project management tools in 1 year!!!) Very outdated tools - made to use Dropbox and Microsoft rather than Google for files and deliverables making it extremely difficult to collaborate one one document esp in timely turnarounds - causing several documents being downloaded and saved with initials and dates and “version 12” for the next person to review?? Madness. Even for clients to review said document - absolute chaos and messy. The CEO would wake up with an idea and ask the team to implement by midday. Truly traumatic work environment and management (the ceo). As the person directly below the CEO I saw and heard all. From my first day I watched one by one people either leave or be let go after horrific bullying and humiliation and being put down in front of other team members. The kind of trauma that stays with you and makes you want to be self-employed. Since I left at the end of last year there’s been several people in my role who have come and gone, I’ve never seen a turnover like it. No job is worth your mental health. I’ve worked for many marketing agencies and always had a fantastic experience so I hope things change for the better especially for the wonderfully talented team members who remain.
