Pros

None - you’ll either love it or hate it

Cons

Company is run in an autocratic way - Zillah needs to control every little decision - management have no autonomy to decide anything If your face doesn’t fit or you complain about something you will “leave” the business Unlimited holiday is great in theory but the cost is the expectation that when you are working you are available 24/7 Little regard for workload, well-being or work/life balance Acquisition-minded means you are just a number - there is zero culture The amount of people who leave is incredible!

Pros

The brands are very strong..although lacking in demographic data. The people are quite fantastic and very brilliant for the most part. But the best ones are hard to keep, due to constant revolving door.

Cons

Acquisition after Acquisition. Thats not a bad thing unless your buying only to dominate. the firm never catches up with assimilation of new brands and as a result people suffer, not C-Suite. Line managers have no real autonomy as EVERYTHING is micro-managed by the CEO. The C-Suite in general is not very kind to its's people. The mantras about being a "team" are hollow and non-existent, this firm truly does not care about its people despite depicting itself as an amazing work culture environment. It is mind boggling how many good people have come and gone. Honestly at any level of discipline do NOT work here.

Pros

You can work on some fantastic publishing brands, training and ability to up-skill in different areas is present, bonus scheme is good providing you bring in 7x your annual salary (minimum per year). Cycle to work scheme. A few really nice & genuine people work there.

Cons

Most upper management are robotic, cowardly, ignorant and do not listen to staff who have far more experience in the actual day to day running of the business. I was told repeatedly in 121 meetings that if my sales figures did not improve I would likely be sacked (despite a challenging period for everyone). Fear is imposed from upper-management which results in middle management micro-managing and un-trusting staff. Forced to return to the office on rigid days even when it wasn't necessary. No culture, no personality and poor relationship with ad agencies.
