Growth Opportunity - Account Director Addison Whitney Employee Review

I've worked in agencies before where you were expected to handle everything on your own. Not here. You have teams of experts in every department including naming, design and research as a few examples. There are chances to work with big and small names across a diverse set of industries (not just healthcare!). The support I've personally felt from colleagues during our shift to remote work has been amazing and an absolute relief to have with a growing family.

Lots of whitespace in many positions so it may be hard if you do not have a vision of what you want your career to look like down the line.

Nice location in Ballantyne. Well-planned office space makes it easy to “self-train” as needed by letting you see what others are working on, even when they would rather horde knowledge. Some people are very nice, some are victims of their surroundings but the remaining individuals are something completely different…

There is not a leader among the salesmen who run the company. Some sales efforts are out of date and lean heavily on phone solicitation. The Pres is extremely resistant to ideas that are seen as criticism and he does not handle perceived and imaginary slights in a professional way. AW often promotes and rewards school yard bullies. There is a small gang of vicious individuals who enjoy/brag about getting people they don’t personally like out of the company "one way or another" as if it is some kind of horrible game and it is openly allowed. Since I started several people were victimized with this style of targeted destruction, once talk started about doing this to yet another person – I became so disgusted I accepted a job offer for less money just to be done with this place. Honestly watching adult men and women display this poor behavior is sickening and seeing it thrive here was my ultimate reason for leaving.
