A Fabulous Growth Experience - Senior Account Executive Seventh Point Employee Review

Really great group of people, relaxed environment, encourages community involvement, really passionate employees, generous time off policy, a lot of encouragement to push yourself past your "standard" job title and evolve as an employee. You won't do well here if your goal is to show up, do your bare minimum job requirement, and go home. They want you to be innovative and to constantly be pushing yourself forward. If you're not passionate about the job and just watching for the clock to hit 5:30, this is not the environment for you. The people who succeed are the ones who care and want to learn and grow. It's an enthusiastic group of people who have a lot of love for the advertising business. Be prepared to collaborate and use your head. Laziness and indifference really don't make the cut here.

Sometimes your work day can get really busy, really quickly. But that's pretty standard across all advertising agencies. There have been certain managers in the past that have created a rather stressful and negative work environment. The most recent correction of powers has fixed this and alleviated a lot of stress. I can see how certain past employees could be bitter about the previous environment, especially the ones working directly under that supervisor, but it has been a much more positive experience since they changed things around.

Occasional free food, spacious office, casual time off policy.

Run, don’t walk. This is a toxic, misogynist culture with no HR department, no professional development, no performance reviews, no clear roles, no defined work hours. Honestly, you’ll never know who you are working for or what you’ll be held responsible for if something goes wrong. There is a culture of finger-pointing and blame shifting, especially when a client leaves. The turnover will give you whiplash. There is rotating cast (every 2-3 years) of overpaid white male VPs. Women are not taken seriously, despite the fact that young, entry-level women keep this place running. You will never see a woman in a leadership role; it’s not even on the table. Aside from the owner and one VP, who are constantly infighting, no one lasts. Every wave of exits is followed by a period of “rebuilding” and a narrative that they’ve finally figured it out this time—a fresh start! Don’t buy it. They use this messaging when interviewing. People leave bitter. If you are interviewing (and this place is often hiring!) reach out to a current or former employee on LinkedIn. I can’t think of a single ex-employee who would speak highly of their experience.
