Wpromote Reviews

Pros

- Unlimited time off - Half-Day Fridays (during a pandemic) - Mentorship programs to help you succeed - Huge culture of gratitude (from people operations, department heads, and even the CEO himself runs a weekly message to the company thanking individuals for their contributions) - Huge focus on employee resource groups that promote diversity and inclusion - Tons of learning opportunities

Cons

- The pace of an agency may not be for everyone as it is very fast and challenging at times. - Will need to manage not only client expectations but requests from internal stakeholders, which can be difficult to coordinate across departments on a client account

Pros

Company culture, people, learning opportunities, growth, benefits (unlimited PTO)

Cons

A lot to learn and take on - but that can be a pro depending on the type of person you are!

Pros

Interesting clients, a lot of cool coworkers to meet via Google Hangouts, HR sent me a desktop for my home office when I requested it. There's a lot of processes to get used to but it makes you feel informed about what's going on in the agency outside your clients. From what I can tell so far, promotions are based on merit/performance rather than agency politics which is a nice change.

Cons

Hours can be long, especially in Q4, but if you didn't already know that, you've never worked in an agency before. I think it's hard to have an interesting corporate culture in a pandemic. People can't see each other, there are no face to face interactions (only hangouts). But these are things that every company is facing so it's not Wpromote's fault. You can't manage people until you're an associate director, which leaves a lot of people at the manager/senior manager level without that necessary experience for another couple of years. As of right now, that's not a problem for me but it's definitely something I considered when accepting the offer because I won't be actually managing/honing those skills for at least another 2 1/2 years. But that's smart of Wpromote overall because people won't be able to find another job at the same level at a different agency without management skills.

Pros

Fantastic perks, great energy in the office, and no micro-management at any level

Cons

Naturally, working remotely will diminish the value that the company's perks offered since you'd be working from home as opposed to heading into the office. However, that same value will be regained as soon as the pandemic and quarantine come to an end, and employees are allowed back into the workplace.

Pros

The company has a vision, that all employees believe in. Being hired during Covid-19 is a real challenge for any company. The transition of on boarding was very smooth. The training has been intense, however the team is patient as there is always a learning curve in a new job. Having worked in this industry at prior company the culture and executive treat every employee at an even level. They care about us being well mentally and physical while succeeding at the same time.

Cons

The only con I have so far is there are no current stock purchases or an idea of becoming a publicly trading company in the future. I would like to stress that this con is due to the fact that my previous employer has these options.

Pros

- work life balance - flexible hours - caring management - growth potential

Cons

- long hours sometimes - short staffed on many teams due to growth
