Vantaggi

There are some pros to Pinckney Marketing. I loved the people I worked with, loved the events and perks, and in my role I was given responsibilities I wouldn't have had elsewhere.

Svantaggi

The pros I described at Pinckney have unfortunately been overshadowed with poor management from the top down. The people I worked with were great, but the workload they endured and the treatment they got made them consistently bitter and rightfully angry. The events were fun until someone (often in a management position) would make inappropriate comments and actions. And the responsibilities given, though great for experience, were held to the accountability of someone with said-experience and often inappropriately scolded in meetings. When leadership leaves and is instead replaced with underpaid internships, you lose all the experience they brought and ultimately you lose credibility as an agency.

I think you grew so much and did so well while you were here. I was very proud of you. You overcame challenges and you dug in and you figured out problems. The company that you work for now is fortunate to have you. I do believe you put too much pressure on yourself. I think the greatest failure is not the hiring plan. I think we have very good people working at our company. I think it is more of a process and priority issue. The only way for a company to grow is through a very solid process. We have those processes being put in place and the goal is to have it all rolled out by the end of the year. We are going forward bit by bit in order to make sure we do not try to do too much too soon. Thank you for your feedback and I know you will continue to grow.

Vantaggi

The only positive aspect of working at Pinckney was working with my fellow colleagues.

Svantaggi

Pinckney is not a place that fosters growth. Leadership is extremely limited, making it very hard to learn from experts and grow professionally. Clients are put before internal employees on a daily basis even when they cross the line of professionalism. The head of the company will never come to his employees defense even when it is clear the client has over stepped which is a huge issue when working on an account team. The lack of ethical behavior is a very big issue at this agency, especially when it comes to a safe place for women to work. Management constantly spoke about females and their appearances and crossed the line far too many times. In addition, there a people in the agency who serve as the face of the agency and are homophobic and would often make comments about their strong dislike of the LGBTQ community which I found unsettling and highly unprofessional. This was especially troubling as they were one of the first people prospective clients and hires would meet. There were multiple office surveys that asked us if we ever felt uncomfortable or unsafe in the workplace and many of us answered yes. Leadership did absolutely nothing and never addressed the problem. Turn over continues to increase and the once very strong portfolio of employees is much smaller as they have fled for better opportunities.

Thank you for your review! I agree with you that there are some very unsettling things that will need to get addressed quickly. I appreciate that you wrote about it here. The purpose of any review is to make sure we can learn from it. I personally like everyone on the account team and I have always had a fierce loyalty to the entire group. People put their trust and their careers with PMI and I have fallen short. Also, thank you for these words you emailed to me when you left the company. From you: "When I walked into Pinckney on my first day I was not sure what I had gotten myself into. Fresh from college and even more fresh from a company that did not value their employees I was not confident and in need of guidance. Pinckney was loud, fast-paced, and I was definitely the new kid on the block. However, it didn't take long for Pinckney to become my second home. I was learning more than I ever had and had a team that truly cared about me. I no longer dreaded going to work but really and truly enjoyed it. I thought how lucky I was to love my job and really felt like I had found my place where I would grow not only as a marketing professional but as a person too." I always appreciated those words. I am not sure how that changed since that email, but I am open to an email or a phone call any time. All the best to you. I am thrilled you are doing well now and thriving.
