Growing pains - Paid Social Manager Future Employee Review

Pros

Unlimited holiday (in theory). Strong CEO and business model.

Cons

Salaries aren't that competitive for roles and other benefits aren't either. Unlimited holiday is a great perk but many staff feel discouraged from taking because of pressures from work. Lots of silos; a value is "we all row the same boat" but most people aren't on the same page, rather cliques exist from the various publications and companies that have acquired and there is no culture to overcome this. New mergers haven't been integrated properly so there is often duplication or conversely not enough resource to match capacity, and a lack of clarity of accountabilities/remit. Matrix organisation doesn't work for all business areas. Tendency to over-egg their position in media landscape. Lack of development opportunities.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry you feel colleagues are discouraged from taking time off, we think it's important to have a break from work and everyone should feel they can take time off when they need it. As announced in the latest Town Hall we're working on more awareness of development and career opportunities and we encourage you to get in touch directly if you have any further suggestions.
