Pros
Good place to work if you're desperate and out of a job. Has a pantry.
Cons
- No work life balance, expect to work till 11pm on weekdays, weekends, public holidays and even on your Leave days. - Be careful what you say and who you say it to as it can hinder your progression, do not trust the team leaders, they jockey for position with who has the most inside dirt on employees. - Favoritism is rampant, if you're not a team leader, don't bother joining. - The team leaders can't even guide you, you'll end up in situations where you actually know more about your job than they do and yet they are telling you what to do and how to do it. (A Good Leader, leads by example, not excuses) - High turnover rate for obvious reasons (Low pay, long hours, politics, too many to list.) - They tell you a lot about dreams for the company and future plans which include you, listen with an open mind but be careful not to be led on by their sweet words. Communication is far from being transparent. (They can't even be transparent with clients, don't expect them to do the same for employees) - Little to no department collaboration although it is required. - Sales team tends to oversell and over promise which trickles down the problems to other departments. - Handed down accounts from other leavers are in shambles, if you don't turn it around, it's you getting the reprimand, not the team leaders. The fault doesn't go upwards, it just stays at the bottom. - Don't try to fight against team leaders, you will lose even if you are right when your review or appraisal comes. Stay far away from here, unless you're desperate. Benefits are bad, bonuses are bad. Read the contract carefully and ask all the questions you want during the interview, you need to be well prepared. If you intend to pursue a career doing in-house marketing for companies, this company is not the right stepping stone for your resume. In-house marketers are all-rounders.
