FiComm Partners reviews

Psychotic leadership, false promises, passive aggressiveness, insane pressure on younger employees to take on tasks belonging to managerial employees, catty nature all around, scary work environment. I encourage you to avoid this place if you are a sane, happy individual. As a very normal, hardworking and diligent person with no psychological issues, this place has caused me extreme anxiety. Leadership is delusional and terrifying and acts like a dictatorship. Please please please stay away even if they are your only job offer! There’s a better place out there, I promise. Believe me, the worst bosses I’ve ever had have been at FiComm! I am not one to rag on a company but want to protect people who may be considering a job at this awful place. Constant feeling that the company may go under and stress from upper management trickles down to put extreme pressure on employees. This is not a pleasant place to work unless you’re a passive aggressive sociopath- in which case you’ll fit right in!

Leadership sells a pretty picture of this place; hard workers that value work-life balance, collaborate openly, and offer a comprehensive integrated offering to industry-leading clients. None of those things are true. Well, maybe the part about having big clients. In actually, the environment is somewhat hostile. The company could help its clients in a comprehensive and integrated manner, only the workers are so siloed and weirdly competitive that cross-departmental innovation never happens. In fact, it is common for employees to not truly understand the full scope of services the company offers clients. Say goodbye to work-life balance. While this is not unusual at an agency, it is unusual for non-managers to be on-call 24/7, even after putting in a 19-hour work day (yes, that's right. 19-hour work days happen). There is a lack of structural organization to this company that is seriously detrimental. Instead of having a typical agency structure with account and project managers, this place operates off of scrum. Which wouldn't be a bad thing if FiComm valued collaboration. Instead, each employee has to become his/her own PR and marketing agency, strategizing, producing, launching, and optimizing while remaining the main point of contact for all of their clients. In other words, the company sells the idea of integrated operations, but in actuality, each employee is expected to be a standalone end-to-end solution. In the end, clients get a lackluster result. You will never receive feedback. Because work is siloed, no one really knows what you are doing. Or perhaps they do know but just aren't telling you. Either way, it's hard to determine whether your performance is good or bad. There is only the impression that you should be doing more, which makes employees anxious and overworked. This place has a high turnover rate for a reason. When I was hired, two people made their exit within a month, each representing the two types of people that leave FiComm. There are those who have been thoroughly used to the point of exhaustion and then fired when management can't understand why their performance is slipping. Then there are those that see this happening and realize that they need to leave in order to save their sanity.
