Pros
Some team members were friendly and welcoming in the initial phases, but unfortunately, that’s where the positives end.
Kontras
• The management team often engages in finger-pointing when problems arise. There’s little accountability at the top, and it’s clear that leaders are more focused on deflecting blame towards other team members. • Strategic direction is constantly shifting, making it difficult to understand long-term goals or to align efforts effectively. • Don’t expect a comprehensive orientation or proper training when you start. It’s a sink-or-swim environment from the start. The lack of structured support leads to a frustrating experience for new hires. Ghosted over introductory emails, attempts to bring in new ideas, and the sheer lack of responses or care from team members was extremely disappointing. • For marketing pros, you’re better off seeking career opportunities elsewhere. There’s no ownership or leadership in these departments, and “initiatives” often feel directionless or are overly saturated with promoting executive comms. Brand work is jumbled and standard work is non-existent. • Upper management communicates with vague, unclear statements that offer little substance. It often feels like they’re speaking in "word salad," making it difficult to understand their priorities or strategic decisions.
