    Toxic Work Culture & Don't follow company Ethos

    Jan 20, 2023 - Media Buying Manager in Los Angeles, CA
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    -Being able to meet Gary V. -Unlimited PTO -A stable income for your hard work -Working on various accounts -Automony to plan your day if you do not have a micromanager

    Cons

    -Working weekend and major holidays, there are blackout days to adhere too -Employees like to gossip and are young minded -Often feels like high-school, don't expect any comms to be confidential or private -Company presents itself like they are influencing the culture but really aren't privy to the types of people they hire or have in leadership positions. People do not practice empathy, kind candor, or compassion -People will do anything to get ahead, absolutely throw you under the bus -You can report serious issues like discrimination or harassment and nothing gets done outside of a talk. There is no follow up email or process to ensure the action or behavior is still not happening -Because people gossip, and people prefer to simple things get heightened and false narratives are shared -People are "Fake" nice for appearances but behind closed doors are vultures and do and say anything that comes to mind especially at offices outside of the headquaters in NYC

    Enjoy the culture

    Business Outlook

    Pros

    First job out of college. I went through the residency program, which was like a hands-on marketing course. I met a lot of wonderful people and have enjoyed my time so far as a full-time employee. Supportive team and a cool account. If you engage with the Slack channels and put yourself out there, you will find support which I love. Young energy, no matter the age of colleagues

    Cons

    Could have better benefits and salary Lack of information before starting 9-6 Working overtime and busyness depends on your account (it hasn't been too bad for me yet. I've seen other roles tend to have a lot more work to do, though) Very little benefits Not a lot of travelling sadly (which I hope for) You do not see Gary much

    Dictatorship (VaynerNFT/V3)

    Jan 10, 2023 - Operations 
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    - Very smart people you get to work with. All who have and add value to the organization that goes mostly unseen by those in power. - Teams are great. Team is great however the one at the top dictates everything regardless if that specific person has no idea how specific functions works.

    Cons

    - Toxic workplace where harmful and unsafe behavior is not reprimanded. The amount certain people curse and hurl insults in all settings is eye opening and mouth dropping. Constant bullying from certain departments and people. Sales/Partnerships rules everything. - Extreme micromanagement all the way from the top. - Hypocritical and incompetent leadership. Nothing matters but securing the deal. Childish behavior and those who do not have any emotional control. - All the so called values and human centered is facade and not in place. - Overworked and absolutely no work life balance. Typical to work 12+ hours a day even though you will be told otherwise. - High turnover. Even though the division was small, there was someone resigning nearly every few days. - Nepotism and favoritism. - Unrealistic expectations. A task or project that would normally take 3 months for example is expected to be done in 1-2 weeks.
