You're overworked after being promoted and have a manager that doesn't care about you're wellbeing & falsely paint's this picture that he is, but it's just business politics & them having to say those things & genuinely not really giving a monkeys. It's all about the targets and them pushing you to meet them. Workload is unevenly disproportioned and seen employees working well into midnight just to catch up! Poor working conditions, almost sweat shop the way they operate. Shocking & dissapointing to see. Taking advantage of employees due to the pandemic and fears of loosing ones job so employees work hard to keep them happy, but this only lead to more stress when they plant this idea of not hitting targets = job loss mindset with peer reviews every 2 months or so, it's ridiculous! This is because they have a small team, and one that isn't big enough to meet the managers ego & unrealistic expectations. He's insulted me and embarrassed me in front of the team intentionally, on my first day in a team meeting! I tried to explain that I'm having issues with my emails but before I could explain myself he jumped the gun and thought I simply forgot and that's bad! It's funny, because his team absolutely despise him, but that makes him happy knowing he's controlling their lives. It's pathetic & he needs help to resolve his daddy issues, because it's affecting everyone's lives the way he goes out of his way to fill that void of insecurity and building an ego to suppress it.

In short; - The pay was derisory, even by agency standards - Management very much played favourites - for example, there was a waiting list for parking spaces on the company. On at least two occasions though, new starters were immediately given parking spots at the Marketing Director's instruction. - 'Junior' staff weren't valued/were made to feel expendable - Because of the above, staff turnover was high. A big deal was made about the average length of service being 3 years. The only reason that's true though is because the higher-ups stay becvause they're valued while the 'junior' members of staff leave for something better-paying where they are valued more pretty quickly. - Because the company focuses on getting lots of low-value clients in rather than a handful of clients with high retainer fees, the Sales team are treated like rockstars. At no point did senior managmeernt ever seem to realise that, yeah, the Sales team get the clients in but it's the talent and hard work of efveryone else that keeps the clients on board. - Employee concerns and grievances aren't dealt with. - Having spoken to other business owners around Greater Manchester since, the company doesn't have a good reputation - one MD said to me recently "I've heard a good thing said about them" - and the Sales team's calls are considered to be a nuisance. Frankly, it baffles me that the company seems to be growing.
