Hard to grow career, issues with upper management - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso WeddingWire

-They have great benefits that bring in low-paying employees who work extremely hard who at first love the benefits, only to realize they cant actually move up. It's a never ending cycle of low-paying employees leaving and the lazy upper-management staying there. -Takes FOREVER to get a promotion especially in the marketing department, can take up to 8 months or more from your initial ask -Will give you vague and unclear goals you must meet to get promoted, and may not promote you even if you do meet them -Upper management moves around in their roles and responsibilities so much it's hard to know who does what and what they actually DO. -They make promises about the company and your role they can't keep -Form cliques and give promotions to their favorite employees unfairly. A "favorite" might not have to work as hard to get promoted as someone who isn't favored by upper management -Decisions are constantly questioned, I constantly felt like my ideas weren't valued or cared about. They would act like they liked my ideas but then make an excuse for why they didn't execute them -Keep incapable people around because of close relationships to exec not because they actually know what they're doing - if you want to work in marketing, beware because the only thing they will want to know is how you make money for sales - not branding -everything the company does is to make money, they don't care as much about branding / social / content / marketing and it's very obvious early on -lots of money spent on unnecessary things instead of salary for employees -not a great place to grow your career -managers don't have employees best interests at heart, only want to please sales -overall if you want to get ahead you won't be able to unless you play into their political game and become best friends with management
