Pros

⁃ You’ll learn a lot because you’ll be thrown in the deep end. ⁃ Monthly socials. ⁃ Flexible working: hybrid/ remote. ⁃ Both head of social and head of ppc do an excellent job and taught me and colleagues a lot. ⁃ Sizeable accounts, a range of industries, most clients are lovely. ⁃ I have made friends for life at TMI.

Cons

⁃ No formal training sessions like other agencies. ⁃ If you work overtime you’ll be eligible to expense a lunch. This might be considered a pro, but in reality it’s just a cheaper solution than paying the actual hours owed. ⁃ You might need to work weekends, evening and bank holidays with limited incentive. ⁃ Specific knowledge is limited in the company and not shared around, so those who hold the keys will be harassed by different departments. ⁃ Senior staff complain about clients & their products and have no faith in the service/ products that they sell (I have screenshots to prove it) if I was a client employing TMI I would beware of this. ⁃ A recent mass exodus has forced teams to constantly merge or change which creates a disruptive environment for both clients and employees. Clients are not warned of team changes which leads to confusion and uncertainty. ⁃ Employee morale is on the floor, most people I know at TMI have already handed in their notice or are looking for the door. Everyone works extremely hard but their talents are wasted and in some cases completely overlooked. Burnout is inevitable and I want to point out that there are limited resources available for those suffering at TMI however the best prescription is too leave. ⁃ You can be berated for asking senior staff for help because they are “too stretched” then get a scolding when you make a mistake. ⁃ TMI employs and continues to PROMOTE individuals that have a very open and clear reputation of bullying at the company. If you are a good drone with a an abrasive personality and lack of management & leadership skills you will do perfectly well and may even get promoted to senior account director eventually! ⁃ A warning to the females at the company - sexual harassment can occur. In some cases you may also be victim blamed and the talk of the office on Monday.

Dear Former Employee Firstly thank you for posting your feedback. It is vitally important to us as an organization that we listen to the needs of all team members (past and present) because at the heart of it, we are a people-centric business and it's the people that make us what we are. We would like to arrange a call between yourself and a senior representative of the organization so that we can better understand your comments? We look forward to hearing from you. Kind Regards, Carla Alves HR and Legal Manager
