Good employer - Digital Marketing Manager DataDial Employee Review

Relaxed environment, some nice people in the office.

Contract stats flexible working hours but you’ll be made to feel you are wrong for asking. Pay seems to be hit and miss every months for an actual pay date. If you have direct debits this will mean you will pay the charges. MD thinks it’s ok to use your salary as leverage if you are late with your deadlines. There are NO company perks and you’ll sit in a dated office with old hardware in silence all day. Work drinks do happen twice a year but be expected to buy your own drinks. Clientele is low budget and management is holding the company back from getting high budget brands on board. Lack of communication around the office between team menebers meaning you are expected to deliver the day they tell you. You MIGHT receive the companies commission scheme if you’ve been there a few years, but this will be instead of a payrise. Staff turn over is mix and match. Older members seem to stay while young ambitious staff members leave pretty quickly. You’ll be told not to waste coffee while they do not even offer water unless it’s from the kitchen tap. And expect to be receiving emails from the MD at 11pm on a Sunday night.

A creative company dealing well with all aspects of web design and marketing and doing it in a sensible and honest manner, particularly with regards SEO compared to other companies where I have worked. Lots of difference clients in different sectors made it interesting. Office was greatly improved since the renovations.

Sometimes difficult to keep track of all the things going on but this also made the role interesting.
