Vantaggi

Sometimes it was an awesome place to work, but that could be flipped in a second to make it feel like the worst. Good, friendly, hard working staff. Nights out were good. MD is both a pro and a con. Should stick at what he's best at and get more senior experienced staff to lead in other areas. One director is intelligent, experienced, shows positive leadership and knows how to motivate to get the best out of staff. This is the standard the company desperately needs and can only be acquired from outside to fill the experience gap and take the business to where it could be. I hear things are better in some areas like training but steps forward like this can be undone by the MD at a whim..

Svantaggi

Hard work is frequently unappreciated. Long hours and unrealistic presumption that staff should work even longer hours. MD overbearing and unreasonable sometimes. One director is too inexperienced and is out of their depth, can come across as false and deflects shortcomings by shifting blame or taking credit for someone else's work. This has been overlooked for more than a year. The company has to aspire to better. Hardly any benefits. Holiday allowance was too low when I was there.

I want to thank you for your comments about our great team. I read every comment on here and discussed them all within the senior management team. Both positive and negative comments are opportunities to learn. We are lucky to have some very talented people working with us and we try to build a positive team culture. Events including the company nights out that you mention are good examples of this. With regards to my own performance I readily accept that I have strengths and weaknesses, and our continued growth means I can start to focus more of my activity on these areas of strength. As you know, we’re committed to getting in experts wherever we can benefit from their input, and I’m no exception to that – there’s a lot I have to learn too. Our senior management team is a balanced forum. Decisions come jointly from the senior leaders in our business. This happens more than ever now as a direct response to feedback from the team about working collaboratively at the senior level. I’m glad you have recognised that we are investing in team and individual training. I am the first to acknowledge that we are not yet close to being a finished article, though we always try to do the best thing for the business, the people in our teams, and of course our clients. Thank you again for your comments and I wish you every success in your future career.

Vantaggi

The team are fantastic, everyone get's along and there is great support in place. Their processes and ways of working are genuinely brilliant and above the standard of other agencies. You will learn so much working here and regular socials mean it really does feel like a family. The owner is a nice guy too and does a great job to keep business flowing and everyone happy.

Svantaggi

This is more a factor of agency life, but because they have such set ways of working, it means you won't necessarily be prepared to jump into the same level role elsewhere. We hired people as seniors that ended up being junior by our standards, and likewise many mid or even senior level staff at Enhance Media would be considered junior-mid elsewhere. When I left I found I lacked many skills that would usually be done by someone in my role because they were either not required for recruitment or done by another department.

Vantaggi

- A lot of the directors are very open to being unofficial "mentors" which is nice. - Good support systems in place - Good training tracks in place - Well-known and established clients - Strong and regimented processes - Good development - Inspiring Managing Director who is very good at "rousing the troops" - Monthly updates are beloved within the company due to the MD's speeches - Strong and young leadership team - Transparent service areas - Great xmas socials - Remote and hybrid working

Svantaggi

- Lower than market pay rate and lack of pay reviews for PPC team, especially PPC management and team leads, despite the amount of work that has to be done quickly and to a very high quality. - Web dev team need a proper manager in place who understands web dev and has enough time to actually support and manage the team. They always looked too busy and burned out. - Lack of understanding around neurodiversity and burnout (burnout caused by the workload and constant deep work). This combination will be confused with other mental health issues and so will be incorrectly developed/supported on. - Misunderstanding of the symptoms and eventual reactions from burnout (anger, frustration, irritation, feeling down etc). Rather than trying to fix/help the reaction, prevent burnout in the first place. - Some types of development from senior management felt like you're being tested/prodded/poked in order to build "resilience" and/or create "boundaries". While the intent is to help, it actually has the opposite effect for certain types of people, especially if they're burned out. Try explaining what resilience is, why resilience is needed, how to build it and perhaps do a 1:1 role play for this and for boundary building. That way you're helping the person to walk themselves through it, rather than leaving things open to interpretation.
