Toxic Management - Account Director AxiCom Employee Review

Culture, co-workers, and clientele. Some agencies can have a toxic work culture, but I was very happy to not have that experience here. AxiCom, and the people who make up this company, are very special, and very talented.

The only downside I can think of is one that I'd have for most agencies. There's a lot of pressure to pitch and win new business, and it's sometimes hard to squeeze that into your current workload. But again, all agencies I have worked for have this problem.

Work from home flexibility is nice

Juniors are abused with a large workload and don’t get compensated nearly enough. Managers lie and manipulate to blame junior employees. It’s an extremely cliquey and political culture. One of the top leaders in the company wore a political hat on a Teams call and people never hesitate to fill the Teams chats with liberal political rhetoric. I’m not even political, but this was too much for me. The management are all friends and decide the “in” group. If you’re not in the group, you better be happy waiting a couple years for a promotion. To get in this group you need to Jester around and participate in dumb activities. Your manager will basically make you make a slide show on some popular topic for the useless weekly meeting on Fridays. This is how you get promoted. Jobs in late stage capitalistic society, am I right?
