Epsilon Employee Reviews about "work life balance"

Cons

Rotational shifts will be there and nights shifts will be hectic if continuous. When it comes to rotational shifts your body can't adopt that easily means it's problem

Cons

There was varying leadership guidance.

Cons

Pay compared to other companies is definitely much lower. Not a lot of training in the beginning, but it depends who you work with and meet. There has been a lot of shifting of titles, teams, & management every year or so that has made it very hard to understand certain teams/roles’ responsibilities. Managers tend to be very overworked. Not really a con, more so advice. But, if you want to move teams, it’s definitely in your own efforts to make it happen and they are usually supportive in directing you.

Cons

They are not good in raises and merit increase rate. You have to be pushy in order to a get a raise or promotion. They focus too much on being Advertising Agency than being a Software Company, hence technology people would feel left out of company's focus sometimes. But that being said you would still be heard and can put influence in the corp.

Cons

If you have read my pros section you might have found I dint talk about salaries/bonuses in it. I have seen the company being not too good with pay rises compared to the boarder market. That's my only complain I would say.

Cons

Cons, like benefits, are unique to each team and each location. Senior leadership can be toxic and totally out of touch with employees. I know of multiple, amazing people that have left because they have butted heads with one powerful senior leader who refuses to change. The Publicis Groupe is an agency holding company, not a marketing technology company like Epsilon. As such, the agency teams can be very difficult to work with and they are not willing to learn. They promise their clients everything even when the juice is not worth the squeeze or what they are offering makes no logical sense. The data sales team does not have the greatest strategy or planning, no roadmapping, and only has the vision to look one month ahead. Fortunately this has been changing over the last year but the person leading that change just left the company. Engineering is difficult to work with and refuses to devote resources to lines of business that are growing rapidly.

Cons

• High turnover • Salary (way below market) and benefits are a joke, sadly. The benefits and 401k went downhill after Publicis took over • Nearly impossible to get a raise or promoted • Not much of an office culture • Micromanaging happens often by senior level executives • Timelines are insane, and rarely are we asked if it's reasonable. What would normally take a week is expected under 24 hours • Your opinion rarely matters; you are expected to do what you're told even if there's a better alternative • The work isn't exactly difficult, it's just not the most engaging either. Heavy on the production work

Cons

-Recent purchase by Publicis has things spiraling in a bad direction: Layoffs have been rampant in the past month with many teams being cut in half Despite layoffs due to budget cuts, teams are expected to do the same amount of work with half the people. The company line is, no joke 'You should be working at 120% to make up for any holidays and vacation' Keep in mind this is going to be tracked by billed hours. The trust I felt to do my job in the time I need to do it is gone. Instead I'm expected to forget about work/life balance and spend my time working on evenings and weekends.

Cons

Not enough people for the amount of clients we are supporting makes it difficult to manage work life balance. Employees Always stressed out due to being over worked

Cons

Pay below market and growth isn't always there.
