Bad management, worse product - Freelancer GRACE Communications Employee Review

Pros

Pay and benefits are fine but not worth the stress of working with these people. The staff is nice but everyone stressed out all the time.

Cons

I can't imagine working for more disorganized and untalented management. They don't trust staff and can't make a decision to save their lives. Management can be cold and outright mean at times and say things that would never be acceptable in a different workplace.

Pros

Good pay and benefits. Working on important environment and public health causes. Most colleagues are good people who care about the work.

Cons

Grace Communications, and specifically its sister org The Monday Campaigns, has a lot of employees who are smart, talented and know their respective fields like marketing, environmental/public health impact, web dev..., but the senior leadership holds them back. They are focused on getting good results, but are often unwilling to invest in projects and put faith in their staff to achieve it. They micromanage and have an outdated knowledge of marketing/advertising, and they don't let their employees take ownership and implement best practices. Poor management also leads to more conflict than there should be - instead of creating a collaborative space, their style divides employees. Management is unable to get rid of dead weight who make racist/sexist/ageist comments and/or their egos get in the way of producing higher quality work. And don't trust HR to have your back and advocate for you. All this results in demotivated employees and a high turnover rate. Those that do stick around are either unhappy or checked out.
