Teamwork is dreamwork - Manager Hinge Marketing Employee Review

So, I’ve been at Hinge Marketing for a year. I’ve officially “survived.” LOL! I’m kidding. I have ALWAYS said, you never know a “job” or know the people you work with until you’ve spent a year rubbing elbows down in the thick of it. So, what have I learned? I’ve seen a team that CARES from the top down. I’ve seen a CEO and partnership team that adds value for their employees - we’ve had extra days off this year, 401ks added, employee cross training, digital programs to enhance our time/task management, and pretty much anything else we’ve asked for on the ground level - we’ve gotten (IF we can make a case for it – which is yet ANOTHER program we’ve implemented this year!) No one is critical or harsh to new ideas. Matter of a fact, new ideas are welcomed. I have also witnessed a lot of employee advancement opportunities within Hinge. If you are willing to start a project and see it through to completion, your efforts will be rewarded. This is a start up culture if you’re willing to put in the effort. You can learn from others. You just have to be willing to put in the extra time to see things through.

Criticism is hard for me. I'll say that abandoning new ideas too quickly might be a struggle for Hinge. Time will tell. Like I said, you never know until you stay the course of time and I'm not done yet. I love the people too much!

Hinge is a growing organization with a well-respected reputation in the marketplace. Hinge is very transparent when it comes to monthly and quarterly financial health, so the growth trajectory of the organization is no secret. Management is flexible regarding telecommuting, remote work, and making your own schedule as long as the work gets done. Entrepreneurship and self-motivation are valued and rewarded. If you have an idea and can back it up with objective evidence, it will be seriously considered. There is opportunity for professional development, mentorship, and advancement. The partners know when it’s time to roll up the sleeves, and when it’s time to uncork a bottle of wine. If you have a work hard, play hard mentality, Hinge is a great place to advance your career.

Hinge is not for everyone; it is a fast-paced environment and will weed out those who can’t keep up. Processes are continually changing and improving, so critical thinking and problem solving are valued. I see this as more of a challenge to overcome than a bullet to dodge. However, previous employees have tried to take shortcuts that bite them in the rear. Benefits have been improving as the company has grown over the 2+ years I’ve been here and I anticipate that trend to continue.
