Pros
Not many to speak on other than the free benefits, which aren’t that great to begin with.
Kontras
Toxic management culture, tries to keep it everyone maxed at hours and if you deviate from the budget hours, you are staying late. This happens OFTEN as the sales team sells way more than this company has the manpower to work for. Overtime happens often. Which being salary and maxed out is sometimes difficult to pack in. I worked late almost daily and often went in on the weekends to make up time that was spent in meetings or wasted. The catering meals happen maybe twice during my entire time here. The “benefits” are some of the worst I’ve ever had. If you go to the doctor at all you will probably pay out of pocket and if you see a specialist forget about it: I was constantly sent a bill. The “strategist culture” is a joke. The techniques are extremely dated, they don’t utilize any new SEO practices and really are a classic example of the blind leading the blind. The recycle the same few strategies for each client. It’s amazing as many clients sign with them that do, and the wants that sign won’t be staying long. Turnover is not only horrible with staff but with clients as well. Many accounts I worked on didn’t make it six months without threats to quit or actually quitting. Management brags and talks a great game but this company internally is hurting. They truly don’t have any new strategies to boast and have no well-developed long-term marketing plans to put into effect. For a successful career in digital marketing, run away.
Pros
Flexible and management cares about employees
Kontras
Salary is lower than the average
Pros
The lower level staff are amazing. Everyone cared about making sure the client got the best we could offer. The ability to work fully from home was also a great benefit. Additionally the benefits were very good.
Kontras
Upper management always felt disjointed and let to a lot of cross department disfunction. The only thing they seemed to care about was KPIs and buying more companies. The care for staff was always very low importance. A lot of people there are burnt out from the amount of work that is expected of you and the level of excellence that is expected only adds to the stress. The very much make it feel like the whole company rests on your shoulders. The pay is a joke as well. The raises are crap and sadly working in any role that’s not SEO or PPC is just looked at like a red headed step child. They show no real concern for the other departments especially if they aren’t money making factories like SEO and PPC are.
