Great Team, Bad Leadership - Account Manager Mason Interactive Employee Review

- Small enough that everyone will know your name, but large enough to provide useful platform resources that come with a larger agency - Wonderful coworkers who are great teachers and mentors - Some challenging clients, but overall, awesome client roster ranging from EDU to fashion to beauty and more Mason taught me the skills I needed to grow in my career. I began as an intern curious about the industry and ended up staying for 4 years. Really loved my manager and team.

- Long days during busy season (Q4), but that’s every role in this industry. - Half of your team may be remote so you may still be on Zoom all day in the office - Fast paced environment (could be viewed as cons for some, but for me it was the challenge I was looking for when I began)

Free snacks and coffee. Office dogs. Nice view of Charlotte. Cool coworkers.

I had more than enough experience to hire me as a FT assistant analyst. Little experience in analytics, but 8+ years of experience in various useful areas like client relations, content creation, social media management, communications, etc. I switched areas since I got more into analytics. They put me in as an PART TIME INTERN for only $15. Not only was it incredibly insulting, but also very inaccurate for the position’s base pay in the area ($18). I had to take it since I was desperate trying to get my foot in the door. They didn’t even know where to put me: I started off with Paid Search, then Social, then GA4, Paid Media. There was unorganized training that very short and scarce. I asked my coworkers for advice all the time, I tried to train myself, do research, ask for help when I was done with tasks. Yet they FIRED me for “not trying hard enough.” I have screenshots, photos, and videos showing proof of training myself, asking, and constantly getting left in the dark. I have the whole offboarding meeting recorded. Management was inefficient and not vocal about problems. Several employees were burnt out, and I was told several others were fired or quit beforehand. They are constantly hiring which is always a red flag.
