Worst place I’ve worked, bullying & stress - Executive The Good Marketer Employee Review

When I first joined the company seemed to have a great culture with plenty of opportunities to grow and move up but that was pretty misleading.

The positive culture faded very quickly and the expectations around workload and deadlines became really unrealistic. The owner definitely had favourites and how you were treated often depended on his mood that day - which was 'common knowledge' amongst employees. If you made a mistake you were spoken to in a rude or belittling way rather than being supported to improve. When completing tasks there was often a lot of back and forth around amends, with most being based on personal preference rather than objective feedback. Instead of clear guidance and valid reasonings behind suggested amends, you’d receive responses such as ‘I don’t like it’ and ‘I just think it looks better’, and often this was given by employees who didn’t have experience in that particular area, which made it difficult to take their input seriously. It often affected morale and confidence and left you questioning your own ability despite having the skills for the job. There were also constant messages outside of work hours, which made it hard to switch off. One of the most shocking things was the incredibly high staff turnover, people were always coming and going, which says a lot about the environment.

Excellent team and vibes. Feels like a family.

Pay raise is usually low.
