Behind the Creative Image: Unrealistic Goals and Unsustainable Practices
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Talented, international colleagues; exposure to advertising projects.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Unrealistic goals, poor feedback structure, weak work-life balance, lack of ethical and sustainable practices.
Work-Life-Balance
Long working hours, last-minute rework rounds, and weekend shifts are normalized and justified through the CEO’s personal drive, “advertising world” mentality and badly structured projects.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
Despite promoting sustainability in client projects, the agency shows little internal commitment: from frequent air travel and wasteful practices to a lack of care in maintaining sustainable relationships with staff and clients.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Ambitious goals are often paired with unrealistic expectations and little real reward. There is no structured feedback culture or growth support—only pressure wrapped in stories about the advertising world or the CEO’s experiences.
Gleichberechtigung
The team includes many kind, talented, and driven people. However, many foreign employees are unfamiliar with local labor norms in Germany and Switzerland, which seems to be taken advantage of, especially regarding visa dependency and job security.
