- Salary: There should be more consideration given to regional cost-of-living differences, as a few employees (myself included) took on second jobs to afford living costs.
- Workload: Partner Marketing is a fast-paced and busy role, which makes it exciting, but it’s important for the business to recognise that we are paid non-sales salaries without commission, despite often working a lot of additional hours.
- Management: There are some excellent managers within the Marketing team, but consistency across the department can be improved. Greater support should be offered to managers who struggle with regularly attending one-to-one meetings and effectively supporting their team members’ development plans.
- I have serious concerns about the team’s mental well-being. I’ve not experienced a workplace where multiple team members have taken time off due to burnout. No one should reach that point, especially in a marketing role. Greater attention to workload management and employee support is essential.
