Verbesserungsvorschläge

You know you are ruining people's lives the way you treat them. You should be ashamed.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

Because of the work atmosphere and the constant stress, I had trouble sleeping, I cried several times a week, I had completely lost confidence in myself and my skills, I had knots in my stomach just thinking of going back to work every morning.

Image

They want to look fancy but if you look closer, you can see how rotten everything is.

Work-Life-Balance

None, I would receive whatsapp every morning, starting at 6 am with tasks, and in the evening too, sometimes with tasks that needed to be done right away, even though it was 8 pm and I was at home. We had tasks on the weekends too, even if we were participating in an event that was taking place on that day.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

Gehalt/Benefits

You are better paid if you work at Coop or Migros.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

My colleagues were the only thing that kept me sane.

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

There were none. They would all left after a few weeks, realising that this is the most toxic workplace ever.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

Bad, bad, bad, bad. They have to do it on purpose, there is no way they don't know that they are the worst. They are going to say that they are demanding because that is the way an agency works, but that is NOT THE TRUTH! No one needs to be that mean to another human being.

Arbeitsbedingungen

Bad, the laptops were old, the internet was slow, the office was a shitty place.

Kommunikation

None. There is no communication whatsoever. When you think it's supposed to be a PR agency, so related to the communication field, they should be ashamed of being that bad at communicating.

Gleichberechtigung

None, I heard them mock the interns because they didn't have money to buy Louboutins.

Interessante Aufgaben

None, seriously, you cannot participate in strategies, and there are none anyway. All you do is excel lists, stupid SM posts, and other completely outdated tasks.

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Location was all that was decent.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Get a consultant to show management how to accurately manage, schedule, brief, and on-board employees.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

CEOs are dreadful and incompetent of running a company. General manager of Zurich is clueless, throws her team under the bus at all cost, and if you speak the truth internally, you better be ready to be humiliated.

Image

Embarrassing to be associated in public with management because they make you look like an ass.

Work-Life-Balance

Rubbish. Never a clear schedule, but when CEOs or general manager make a mistake, they expect everyone to pay for it by working more.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

Gehalt/Benefits

If you work the paid hours out, then you are making less than a cashier at a kiosk.

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

Nonexistent

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Backstabbing, fearful for holding a position, but there are a few diamonds in the rough who try to help and be friendly. There is never a time when we are all in the office, so it’s hard to say that everyone is a team. In years, never met team member who were only 2 hours away?!

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

Backstabbing to keep one’s job

Vorgesetztenverhalten

Founder is an absolute nightmare. It’s clear some accounts stay due to personal connections, but it is baffling how this place stays afloat. If you ask for assistance, client info, or even a clear breakdown as to who is leading accounts, you are ignored or screamed at. Zero structure, zero briefings, and everything is last minute because management can’t handle their own two hands.

Arbeitsbedingungen

Chaotic and you never know what schedule you have for office time until usually Friday night.

Kommunikation

Zero chance for communication. Always pushed aside when management says they don’t get involved.

Gleichberechtigung

Nonexistent.

Interessante Aufgaben

Some clients are fantastic to work on accounts. The fact that this agency only works via chaos and last-minute is known throughout the country. Their only inkling of chance is that they offer super cheap retainer services compared to Europe. This is where you can say “you get what you pay for”

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Amazing colleagues and cool clients. Gives you an entry into the Swiss PR world.

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Everything else, unfortunately.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

I would love to see the agency incorporate benefits, better market-oriented salaries and value their employees more.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

Extremely stressful and toxic. Your work never gets appreciated and it expected to stay late and finish whatever unreasonable request is forced upon you.

Image

Client portfolio looks extravagant, but all of them are only there because it's more expensive with other agencies.

Work-Life-Balance

There is none. You either work or get yelled at for "mistakes" in your time off.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

Gehalt/Benefits

Compensation is very far from market average. A junior earns as much as a cashier. If you ask for a raise, you are told you're not ready. How that works is beyond me.

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

I think it's hard for any PR agency to be honest, but it should be a very important topic nonetheless. A lot of waste could be prevented.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

amazing colleagues, who work very hard and keep the agency afloat!

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

The oldest member of this company is the founder

Vorgesetztenverhalten

The slogan fake it till you make it fits very well to management. Although they have never made it and never will.

Arbeitsbedingungen

I would rather not call that place an environment, as that requires oxygen to be present. The place is toxic!

Kommunikation

Cancelled weekly meetings and if they took place, they were a waste of time. Separate meetings for management where CEOs gossiped about other employees. Communication only happened screaming when you made a mistake.

Gleichberechtigung

No discrimination per se, although I heard the CEOs were actively participating in racially charged conversation about a black employee and how she was their diversity hire. Not cool!

Interessante Aufgaben

If you like schlepping oranges, preparing senseless media reports and fighting about wording on a social media post, then this is the right place to be.

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Nichts, absolut gar nichts.

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Alles. Finger weg!

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Hopfen und Malz verloren. Am besten überlegen, ob man seine Mitarbeiter wirklich wie Dreck behandeln will.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

Perfekt für alle, die gern jeden Tag angeschrien und heruntergemacht werden. Recht machen kann man es in keinem Fall. Leider muss ich einen Punkt geben.

Work-Life-Balance

Arbeit am Abend (oft am selben Nachmittag angekündigt) und Wochenende völlig normal. Überstunden werden erwartet, jedoch weder bezahlt noch kompensiert. Wer sich gut aufteilen kann und sowieso kein Privatleben hat, wird die Stelle lieben.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Hohe Fluktuation, jeder geht, sobald er eine andere Stelle findet. Nur junge Kolleginnen, die sich noch alles gefallen lassen und keine Wahl haben. Das oft gemeinschaftliche Weinen schweisst dennoch zusammen.

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

Es waren keine älteren Kollegen da. Wer die Chance hat, rennt, so schnell er kann.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

Unprofessionell trifft es noch nicht mal ansatzweise. Management ist cholerisch und völlig damit überfordert, ihren eigenen Ansprüchen gerecht zu werden. Sie schreit viel und gerne, wird beleidigend, beschimpft ihre Mitarbeiter und lästert auch gerne mal über die Unfähigkeit ihrer Angestellten. Anweisungen und Aufgaben gibt sie völlig unstrukturiert und teilweise kryptisch. Selbst ein 4-Augen-Prinzip lässt ihre Nachrichten nicht klarer werden. Vor lauter Stress rotzt sie Mails auch einfach mal nur hin. Sieht sich selbst in der Welt der High-Society und überschätzt ihre eigene Wichtigkeit vollkommen. Noch nie so etwas unprofessionelles erlebt. Als Vorgesetzte völlig ungeeignet.

Arbeitsbedingungen

Das Büro wäre nett gewesen, aber vollgestellt bis oben hin.

Kommunikation

Nicht vorhanden. Kryptische E-Mails, halbherzig hingerotzt. Fragt man nach, wird man heruntergemacht, man soll selbst denken. Ergreift man die Initiative, wird man als unfähig bezeichnet. Regelmässige Wutausbrüche im Büro völlig normal. Aufgaben werden nicht richtig vermittelt, teilweise wird man per Whatsapp auf die private Nummer bombardiert oder abends noch angerufen. Gedankenlesen ist Voraussetzung!

Gehalt/Benefits

Lieber an die Kasse setzen, da ist das Gehalt besser.

Interessante Aufgaben

Die Kunden wären interessant, wenn man denn selbst mit ihnen in Kontakt treten dürfte. Für Events und zur Influencer-Bespassung sind die Mitarbeiter gut genug, die wichtigen Mail-Absprachen übernimmt das Management selbst. Die Arbeit besteht quasi nur daraus, ihr zuzuarbeiten. Vertrauen in die Mitarbeiter ist nicht vorhanden.

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Nothing at all.

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Everything. How can you treat your employees like shit, pay them like shit, and produce shitty work for your clients and still exist?

Verbesserungsvorschläge

At this point I think it is already too late to change anything, their personalities are the issues.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

Awful, several of us were crying on a weekly basis.

Cheap AF

Work-Life-Balance

None, you are expected to work on weekends, holiday, and to stay until your work is done, which is sometimes until 1 am.

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

None.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

Kollegenzusammenhalt

That is the only thing that made me stay for 10 months, otherwise I would have been gone since day 3.

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

The only older colleague I had stayed for only two weeks, and realised how awful that place is.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

Awful! Screaming all the time, never happy with anything, treating all the employees like shit, manipulating the facts, etc.

Arbeitsbedingungen

Awful, most of us were too afraid to even eat lunch when management was at the office.

Kommunikation

What communication? Nothing was communicated, so you were always trying to guess what was expected of you, and of course you were always wrong.

Gehalt/Benefits

They even tried to not pay me my full salary when I quit.

Interessante Aufgaben

None, i have several years of experience yet they gave me intern tasks, like bringing back the clothes they didn’t like from Zara, washing the coffee mugs, making copies, etc.
