Wpromote Reviews

Pros

• Culture of trust, respect, and collaboration • Company growth creates career growth opportunities for employees • Data-driven decision making • People care about each other!

Cons

• Fast, agency pace can be tough for some

Pros

- half day Fridays -- when you get a chance to use them - kudos and compliments are given out often

Cons

I'm in the digital intelligence team and there are overall very few women and POC. We have biweekly department meetings and it's very much a boys club. I've noticed that it is extremely rare that women get a voice in these meetings. The ones dominating the conversation are white men. They don't seem to even notice or care that only the same few men are talking each meeting. The small talk is almost exclusively about sports or movies targeted for men. In my department within the digital intelligence team, there are not any women in a leadership position. I'm torn between suggesting this job to female applicants because I want more women on the team, but I know it's not the best culture here for us. Also, the vast majority of people here have been here under 1 year. Only one person on my team have been here for over a year so the turn over is huge.

Pros

Plenty of room for growth and lots of new opportunities allow for me to stretch myself in new ways. The half day Fridays are great, but the community is the best part. I get to work with a lot of fun, intelligent folks!

Cons

Sometimes balancing work is a challenge, but that's generally the nature of agency work.

Pros

- the people (two years later, and I still keep in touch with many!) - the unlimited PTO (though some could say this is a con since some teams are strict with approval and the PTO has no value when you leave) - the casual office environment

Cons

Most of my team and another team were laid off in early, pre-pandemic 2020 after Wpromote lost a huge client. Some employees were given fair notice and moved to different departments. In contrast, my team was suddenly laid off one by one, while our remaining team members were being watched in a meeting and unable to say goodbye. Our emails were disabled before we were officially told the news, and they took their sweet time getting to everyone, so some of us were waiting around for an hour or two. There's no easy way to lay off employees—I get that—but this was an objectively bad way to do it. The company will say they helped us land on our feet by offering outplacement services, but that means very little when other employees were moved internally and had a month or two notice, while my team was taken entirely by surprise. While I loved the work I did and the people I met through Wpromote, I wouldn't trust them as an employer. They started explicitly asking new hires to write 5-star Glassdoor reviews in March 2020, so I'd also be cautious of the overly positive reviews you see here.

Pros

Onboarding was seamless and enjoyable. The company as a whole is really up to speed with latest resources to make your experience that much more enjoyable. Being able to work from home and have a 4.5 day work week is amazing. The fact that this company truly cares about their employees and condones a healthy work-life balance can't be beat. Can't say enough positive things about Wpromote!

Cons

I can't think of any cons at this time.

Pros

Half day fridays, unlimited PTO, flexibility

Cons

There has been a huge amount of turnover with both clients and employees in the last year. Along with that, a lot of changes have happened and an overall lack of transparency from leadership. Leadership is more concerned about growing the company vs. taking care of existing clients/ employees. The company cares more about its image in the media over actually properly paying employees and making sure they are happy. Favoritism is huge. If you are not a favorite you will be pushed out. Pay is well below the industry standard.
