Vantaggi

The coworkers are top notch

Svantaggi

This company is far behind the 8-ball in terms of marketing technology and best practices. The products and services are not up to 2022 standards and as stuck in the past as the clients are. Leadership spends more of their time doing personal retreats than trying to improve their company. Clients are difficult to please, and no backup is given to us when clients are being difficult or out of line. Also very cliquey - if you aren’t in with the right people, you’ll be talked about behind your back. This company was great when I started, but it really needs to get up to speed with the marketing world and rebuild the team bonds that were once in place rather than the siloed place it has become. One final thing: very sales focused. Even if your role is not sales, you’re pressured - expected - to be making sales rather than being able to focus on what you were hired to do.

As Co-CEO of Haley Marketing, this review hit me very hard. This is a second review that illustrates the challenges we had in 2021 due to our growth. Are our products, services, and technology out of date? No, but I understand the perspective. There are things we do (and don’t do) based on who our clients are and what they need. Our mission is to make world-class marketing easy and affordable for small to midsize businesses, which means that we (and our clients) have to make choices about what they can do and can afford to do. As a company, one of our core values is to provide share-worthy service. At no point in our company’s history have we ever asked non-salespeople to sell, but we absolutely expect team members in client-facing roles to consult with their clients and provide great advice. That’s core to our service process, and while so much of the world today is electronic communication, we ask our people to get on the phone and talk with their clients at least once a month. Not to sell, but consult…to provide advice on the best marketing strategies and help our clients get the best value out of the services they purchased. To our former teammate, I am truly sorry that you saw the company culture falter as we grew and we dealt with the pandemic and transition to fully remote. Our biggest failure has been in communication, and I will own that one. There was not enough that I did to ensure that you and everyone at Haley Marketing were aware of all that was going on behind the scenes as we worked to balance growth, product development, implementation of EOS, and a new leadership team. We recognize that we need to do more to support our internal culture now that we are fully remote. Since you have left, others have stepped up to help address the issues you raised. They are actively working with our leadership team to strengthen our teams, enhance our products, and improve the culture. Thank you for your feedback and we encourage all of our current and future team members to continue to share ways we can improve!

Vantaggi

There are great people here, who are smart, hardworking, and kind. Everyone is always willing to help, and there is no shortage of opportunities to learn. As a company, Haley also genuinely cares for the well-being of their clients. It's not just about the bottom line. In marketing, that people-first mindset is refreshing. Work-life balance is also great. I know many people who work at marketing agencies and work 60+ hours a week. That isn't the case here. People tend to stick to their 40 hours a week. You can also flex your schedule if you need to accommodate an appointment, etc. PTO is permissive PTO: you have to request it, but they tend to approve it. You can expect around 1 week/quarter, though that's flexible. I also think Haley does a lot better than other companies at creating a remote-first culture. I feel connected and part of the community despite working remotely.

Svantaggi

One of the benefits of working for a company that is willing to grow/change is that there can be some growing pains during times of transition. If change is hard for you to navigate, you might struggle here. Would also love if dental coverage was included, but it's a smaller company, so that's sometimes that's difficult to make happen. Health insurance plans are just-OK, but again, smaller companies sometimes have more limited options.
