APPLY AT YOUR OWN RISK! - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Collectively

I don’t even know where to begin. This was easily the worst job I’ve ever had. Working here often felt like pledging for a sorority or being part of a cult that I never agreed to join. If your skin tone or background doesn’t resemble leadership, expect your experience to be very different from others. There appears to be a strong preference for people who fit a certain “aesthetic,” and if you don’t, your work environment can quickly become uncomfortable. Raising concerns about discrimination or unfair treatment doesn’t improve the situation in some cases it leads to extreme micro management, quiet demotion, feedback meetings, being put on a performance plan, being fired (and they’ll try to tell your co-workers that you “left”), and/or being placed under managers who are notoriously toxic with multiple HR complaints. Leadership structure is also concerning. The CEO has immediate family members in senior leadership roles who have little to no prior experience in influencer marketing or related fields. Meanwhile, employees with real industry experience are often expected to train their teams and carry the workload without recognition or advancement unless they are personally favored. Titles don’t reflect actual responsibilities. If you’re hired as a junior employee, be prepared to perform the work of a Senior employee without proper training, while also being held to the same standard that Senior employees are held at. You may find yourself managing full campaigns independently while being held to unrealistic expectations of perfection. There are also psychological tactics leadership uses with junior employees, particularly the ones they don’t favor. You’ll often be encouraged to take on work far beyond your role with promises that successfully running multiple campaigns on your own will lead to a promotion. However, if even one minor mistake occurs during the process, that single mistake is later used to justify why you’re “not ready” for advancement. It creates a situation where employees are pushed to do senior-level work without the support, training, pay, or recognition that should come with it, while their favorites are able to make those same mistakes and get rewarded with promotions, raises, and nice brand trips. Another issue is accountability. Concerns raised with leadership are often acknowledged verbally over Zoom calls, but rarely documented in writing or followed through on. This creates a pattern where solutions are promised but never implemented. It’s also worth noting that Glassdoor reviews appear to be scrubbed. Many of the reviews that told the truth are no longer here, and the positive reviews seem to come from leadership or employees who were favored. For others, the experience can be drastically different. Personally, working here had a serious impact on my mental health. I genuinely hope this review remains up, because people deserve transparency before considering applying.
