Unprofessional CEO Who Creates Hostile Work Environment
Pros
Opportunities for career and personal growth. ACs are able to lead accounts. Interesting accounts from food & bev, lifestyle, fitness, energy, retail and more.
Cons
My advice is for job seekers; this is not a place you want to work. A few weeks after I started here we got the news that my mom had breast cancer. I still worked, reached client KPIs and goals and she got better. Over winter break, we learned my dad had stomach cancer and would need to have surgery to remove it, plus chemo. I didn’t take a day off, continued to reach client KPIs and goals, then a pandemic hit and a few months later I was fired over a five-minute call while driving on the highway. I held my head up, went to the office to collect my things, and tried to leave with dignity. Amy Power, Founder and CEO, met me at the office. I asked for my personnel file and why I was only offered a week severance. Instead of addressing these questions, she let me know that she "intended to fire me earlier", but "my dad got sick and so we waited for a reasonable amount of time before letting you go" (which was in May of 2020, big COVID yikes). I collected my box of things and made those the last words she ever spoke to me. Amy boasts 34 years of experience in PR with 21 of those years as a CEO, and yet she determined this was the most professional way to let me go. You may think I’m bitter but I waited this long to share my experience at TPG online to ensure I saw things clearly. Now, I work with top tech clients! Four months after I started my current job I received a raise and four months after that I received a promotion. Both of my parents are cancer-free and I can honestly say now so am I!
