Web Marketing Experts Reviews

Pros

I have been working for WME full-time for over 2.5 years. Here is my view of the company:

It is a fun but also competitive environment. Managers are very supportive and helpful, with an open door policy. Anyone can go to the GM or the MD and ask for assistance. On Fridays we do "Recognition Friday's", everyone has an opportunity to be recognized by other team member for his/her achievement of the week. Team building events are always fun, and the end of year party is also memorable.

The team at WME has become a second family to me, and the friends I have made are for life.

The most important lesson I have learned at WME, is that opportunities are only for the people who are prepared.

Pros

Interesting things to learn and good people

Pros

I am both a current and a former employee of Web Marketing Experts. I originally started working in this company in June 2012. I recently came back in January of this year, I can clearly see that WME has grown in this time to a well rounded and integrated digital marketing company. The culture was always great but the communication between departments wasn't always smooth. It's great to see this has been redesigned into a much more efficient model. Nick has always held his staff to a high standard but has never expected them to do anything he is not willing to do himself.
I have found the company offers recognition and reward for hard work and has always demonstrated flexibility within reason.

Pros

Great team, very friendly and fun. Nick (CEO) was a mentor to me while I was working there and I learned a lot from him that has helped me in subsequent roles. I was well paid in my role and felt my targets were all achievable. Overall I really enjoyed my time there and grew a lot in my skillset. I've kept in touch with various team members from WME since and have been into the office to meet a few of the new staff. Highly recommend it

Advice to Management

Trust in your staff, keep up the high energy and be open to feedback.

Pros

I was thoroughly immersed in digital marketing years before I was employed at WME.

The Staff:
WME helped me continue to grow my skill set in digital. The company has over 160 talented staff all on 1 level. So as you can imagine, it's a massive talent pool of extremely passionate Gen X and Y workers.

The Managers:
Let's start with the Founder... Nick encourages his staff to continue to further develop their personal and business skill set as often as they can. He does not hold staff back from taking holidays (within reason) as he understands the importance of keeping workers motivated.
NB is a big believer in helping his staff grow intellectually, spiritually and professionally.

The rest of the management team are extremely helpful, and will do whatever they can to help out in any situation.

Training:
Usually held in the mornings before business hours (8.30am) and available to anyone who wants to attend. Each member at WME has their own unique skills, and different members hold training at different times to provide a holistic approach and share their knowledge with their team members.

The Perks:
Yoga sessions are sometimes held as well as heavily discounted Fitness First memberships for WME employees. On the main floor your can find Golf Putting Mats, table tennis tables, and a very large common area where staff can "chill" in their spare time.
Beers and Vodka come out on Friday afternoons and has been a customary tradition at WME - I'm surprised they can still manage to do this even with 160+ staff.

Pros

Left to go travelling, but I was sad to leave a fantastic team with approachable management. Great opportunities for career progression. I started at WME with little practical work experience, thankfully the role allowed me to refine my craft. I would work at WME again

Pros

Everyone besides upper/middle management at WME come together to commiserate about the awful situation they have found themselves in - it's an easy thing to bond over.

Advice to Management

Management are beyond advice. Any current employees reading this, get out while you still can.

Pros

Its good for people starting in the industry.

Pros

Convenient location, easy to make loads of commission if you're ok to unethically sell and love hearing all about '2-3 hours talk time per day'

Advice to Management

Get a proper team training, do some team building activities and care about your staffs opinion - Nick you're a smart man and you've done well but your attitude doesn't inspire action, it demotes it.

Pros

Amazing culture and HUGE growth in skill-set after working here for 5.5 years
Ideas were always welcomed and if it makes sense it is rolled out company wide within 24 hours
All profits are re-invested in the business, processes, marketing and staff training
If you work hard, you are rewarded with opportunities in the business and financially
Working at WME had me travel to USA, Hong Kong, Macau and Indonesia
Managing Director Nick Bell get's his hands dirty and works with us from the ground up (builds desks, laying carpet, set up PC's for new starters, attends client meetings and sales meetings)
Within 2.5 years I was promoted and relocated from Sydney to Hong Kong
Clients were the highest priority and staff treated as family
Nick is incredibly generous and throws amazing staff parties and always celebrates wins in the team
Upon leaving the company I was asked to visit Melbourne HQ and to my surprise a tailor was waiting for me and fitted me for a suit

Advice to Management

Encourage international senior managers to catch up more and share ideas for global growth
