Pros

Allowed our legally entitled holiday pay Pay tended to be sent to my account on time

Cons

This has been a hard review to write. Right On The Line could be a good place to work. It could even be a great place to work. But it is sadly the worst place I have ever been employed at in the past 15 years of my professional career. This is down to one singular individual with a textbook case of narcissistic tendencies and a high probability of borderline personality disorder. I feel terrible for my colleagues who have left during the period I worked here, which totalled nine, all of whom said in confidence that they left due to this individual. Partners and friends who have heard this individual on calls with myself and others have been shocked at how this person behaves and speaks to fellow employees. The language they use is abusive, and as this person has little to no understanding or care for UK law they are likely to be sued into bankruptcy if they are not careful. They manipulate and care nothing for the thoughts of other people, and only for their bottom line. I actually believe they are fully incapable in their job role, and that they attempt to cover that up with anger and bile directed to anyone who questions them. This is a marketing agency essentially run by a person who says they don't believe at all in marketing. Every company over a certain size has some bad eggs, but this egg is rotten to the core and should be chucked out. There is currently a push by this individual to hire employees from countries outside of the UK, so if you are looking to work here expect to be regularly told that you could be replaced by someone who would be thankful for half your salary. This threat is not an empty one. I have seen colleagues have their mental health suffer greatly during my time here, and instead of being supportive or listening the upper management attempt to explain away this persons abusive behaviour. Senior management are essentially hamstrung by this individual, as whilst they should have power they simply do not. Do not waste your time or effort here. Your money will be earned in blood and tears, and it isn't even that good a salary.

Pros

When I joined just under 5 years ago I couldn't have told you what an impression was. I joined as Admin and early on I was asked where I would like to go in the company and whether there was a specific role I'd like to work towards. I chose to join the Activation team and subsequently I was given the opportunity to join this team and start my digital marketing. I quickly learnt a lot of new skills and was able to progress in my role and became a senior campaign manager within a couple of years, setting myself up nicely for a career in digital marketing. Collaborations between colleagues and teams is great, and the work is very rewarding. We are encouraged to learn and better ourselves, and the management and HR are very supportive.

Cons

At times the workload can be heavy, but find me another small digital marketing agency where this isn't the case.

Pros

Some talented and caring peers who try their best under difficult circumstances. Exposure to large clients and fast-paced campaigns. You’ll learn resilience very quickly.

Cons

The company recently went through a sudden "liquidation and restructuring", and the unethical way it was handled made it clear that employee wellbeing are not a priority. Communication during critical moments were non existent and lacked transparency, empathy, and basic human dignity. There is a culture where blame tends to trickle downward, and high workloads with very limited resources can create sustained stress and burnout. Teams often operate in silos, with minimal cross-support and a “just get it done” mentality rather than thoughtful collaboration and leadership. There were instances where recognition, trust, and responsibility did not appear to be based on performance or skill, and internal dynamics could feel influenced by favoritism and personal alliances rather than merit. Feedback channels exist in theory, but follow-through and genuine listening feel limited. The culture is more about appearing supportive than actually building a sustainable, psychologically safe environment. There is a culture where blame tends to trickle downward, and high workloads with very limited resources can create sustained stress and burnout. Teams often operate in silos, with minimal cross-support and a “just get it done” mentality rather than thoughtful collaboration and leadership.
