Vantaggi
I have been working for UEC for over 3 years now. It is definitely a place that has allowed me to grow and develop professionally at an accelerated rate. I don’t think I have ever learned so much within such a short space of time. It is up to everyone in the team to show how much they want to learn and they are always given the opportunity to shine. You will not get stuck in a repetitive role if you don’t want to! From an advertising agency perspective, the value proposition that we offer to our clients is very appealing to me. I enjoy working for an agency who I would happily spend my marketing $$ with myself. From my personal experience, this is often not the case. As I have been with the business since early days, I got the opportunity to get an insight into the operational side of the business and my input is always valued and considered. Being able to work on the operational side of things is a great advantage for me as it is completely outside of scope for my job title. It allows me to grow my professional skillset in a way I was never able to in my previous roles when I was working for larger companies. My role is very varied and fast paced and it always keeps me up on my toes. No repetitive routine where you do the same task every day! UEC has changed a lot over the past year. The owner is now solely driving the company direction and culture. The vibe feels great, I enjoy coming to work, the team is awesome. They are very supportive of each other and good fun too! I have a very close relationship with the owner which is very rare in a workplace. She supports her employee’s life decisions in any way she can – in my case I am going to be able to keep working for UEC remotely from Paris at the end of this year. UEC is growing its global team around the world so that it can service their clients 24/7 which enables me to keep my job and pursue the next chapter of my life at the same time.
Svantaggi
Meetings often scheduled during lunchtime so be prepared to be very flexible with your break time. Timesheets are a way to keep this business profitable but for those who haven’t experienced this before it can be daunting at the start. This is definitely not a place for people who like to come to work to do very little and get paid for it. The business is fully transparent and accountable to delivering on client outcomes so if you’re not comfortable with being ‘seen’, then it may not be a place for you.
