Pros
You'll likely make some great friends by bonding over the poor conditions and terrible management decisions.
Cons
- The company's values and mission of achieving "positive outcomes for people, places, and planet" is largely performative. Management often disregards these principles when financial considerations are at stake. - While the agency promotes itself as inclusive and diverse, this is not reflected in its leadership, and leadership has no intention of changing this. There is only one person of colour in a leader role, across the entire business. - There are multiple occasions of POC staff members resigning due to feeling culturally unsafe. - While the agency does employ a number of POC staff, they are overwhelmingly in junior positions and receive some of the lowest wages in the office. - Numerous instances of employees being managed out by the executive team, including other leadership members. - Reports of bullying are consistently ignored by leadership. -The agency's claim of offering "flexible work arrangements" as a hybrid workplace is misleading. While employees are allowed to work from home on Tuesdays and Thursdays, the leadership team would mandate full-time office attendance if they could. They have also implemented measures that significantly restrict the ability of staff to work flexibly from home, even for essential personal reasons such as deliveries, childcare, or illness. - Despite emphasising the importance of in-office presence, the CEO is rarely in the office. Further, the CFO has moved to another state and is permitted to work from home full-time, a fact that was not communicated to staff due to the potential negative perception.
