Wonderful experience - Advertising Sales The River Group Employee Review

- Nice people working at River, unfortunately we all hate our jobs

- Incredibly toxic, worst SLT imaginable. everyone says that the CEO is a women hating bully and it's been witnessed first hand. No one respects her. Managing director is fake and will be kind to anyone's face and seem like she cares.... she doesn't.

I can't think of a single thing.

Costs are wildly out across projects as the senior management want to keep them as low as possible so they win some business, with the added complexity of not knowing how to cost anything that isn’t print so you end up trying to deliver projects with no support, no brief and no hope of success. Failure is baked in. It’s never them, it’s always you. Urgency is embedded in everything but it’s not a virtue - it’s leadership in panic. If everything is urgent nothing is important. It’s not in my nature to write something as visceral as this, but it needs saying. No other agency I have ever worked at functions in this way. My advice would be to swerve it at all costs.
