Pros

2 hours well-being time per month that is likely to be declined by your manager because work is more important than just taking 2 hours a month for your mental health

Cons

-Recently lost their biggest client and reassured people that everyone was safe and nobody was going to lose their jobs. One week later they laid off 6 people with immediate effect. They knew from day 1 that these employees jobs weren’t safe but they decided to lie instead and create a false sense of security rather than being straight up with them from the very start. A lot of the people they laid off don’t even work on the client they lost, so they lost their jobs for no good reason and without any explanation. -Below industry standard pay -You don’t get your time back fairly when you work outside of your salaried hours, expect this company to bleed heavily into your personal life. -Heavy workloads that run you to the ground, say goodbye to your personal time as you’ll have such unrealistic deadlines you’ll often work until midnight all for a measly 20-something grand salary -All of the people in the social team are anxiety-riddled, burned out and mentally unwell from mismanagement. Management in the social team is very unapproachable and non-understanding. All they cares about is materialistic pointless awards and they don't care who they destroy mentally in the process at trying to win them. Manager makes very questionable decisions but is never picked up on any of them, and the company wonders why nobody wants to stay here. -You’ll only make it far in this company if you become best friends with all the board members. -Complete disorganisation from the company founders, dropping heavy work loads at the last minute on people. -They have a bunch of outdated ‘perks’, they like to pile these up so it looks like they’re a great company to work for but none of it makes up for how bad it is to work here. One of their perks is that they have an in-house life coach who you’re supposed to go to when you need support or to vent. Not to be trusted with confidential information. -They can’t keep staff, people are constantly quitting. They’ve had a lot of people start the job and quit within a matter of week/a week. -People in the higher up team have literally advised bottom level staff to quit and find something better because this place is awful and was destroying their mental health. -Two bad reviews of the company have gone missing from Glassdoor, suspected by many that Brazen paid a company to get them removed, I wouldn’t be surprised if they removed this one too.

The worst place I have ever worked

Pros

- Office has a free bar

Cons

- From day one, it was clear that this was the cliquiest workplace I had ever encountered. If you weren't a part of the inner circle, you were treated like an outsider and constantly looked down upon. -The senior members of the team were the worst offenders when it came to creating a toxic work environment. managers and directors would speak to their employees in a condescending manner, belittle them in front of their colleagues, and constantly put unrealistic expectations onto their team members. It was clear that if you didn't conform to their way of thinking, you were not a valued member of the team. - I never felt like I could approach my superiors with any concerns or issues I was facing, as I feared being shut down or brushed off. It was clear that employee well-being was not a priority at Brazen PR, and any attempts to address this were met with dismissiveness

Pros

None to speak of. Honestly.

Cons

Quite simply the worst place I have ever worked. Avoid like the plague. The owners and directors sit (quite literally) looking down on the rest of the teams. People cry at their desks. They are “creative” with the results and award entries they submit. There are weird cliques of people who have been there for many years while new account execs/interns/grads are treated terribly, if you like being chained to your desk thiugh this could be for you! If not, try one of the many other agencies in Manchester. “Brazen by name, Brazen by nature”
