Archer Reviews

People who slack off, don't do their jobs, refuse to work on projects, etc. never get punished or even reprimanded. I even heard a manager say "Well it's been going on for so long what can I really do." Seriously? Umm...Fire them if they won't do their job is an option. So then the people who work hard and do well over their job descriptions get punished because they have to work even harder to pick up the slack. Lots of cliques throughout departments which leads to a lot of political games just like it were high school. Sort of like a boys club—good luck getting into that if you're a female who likes being a female. It's extremely hard to move up no matter how good you are or how hard you work. Most people leave the company to move up in their careers. I was discriminated against for my age and gender all they time. Sexual harassment is common as well. Don't expect HR or management to be of much help with any of this either. They all just turns a blind eye.

- Poor management. Performance reviews, career goals/ objectives/ milestones--foreign concept here. Managers function in a free-for-all environment, no structure or processes, free to do as they please which means not managing at all in the end. - lots and lots of waste and inefficiencies. SVPs that do ?? , get paid quite a bit and probably haven't been billable in years. - further to the first point--very little career advancement opportunities. Career goals? Huh? What's that? Have a beer instead. - lot of focus on keeping the "cool factor" going but not much substance as a company there (example: purchased an agency in Austin just cuz, it seemed. Austin is cool, we want to be cool... Didn't seem well thought out). - a lot of people get away with a whole lot. And then others don't. Accountability is also a foreign concept and not consistent across the board. Goes back to poor management. Lots of fat to trim. - Medical benefits set up in a very complicated way. Lots of time-consuming paperwork on the employee's end - Processes and procedures are almost non-existent
