Worst experience ever. Toxic toxic toxic!
Ex-Angestellte/r oder Arbeiter/inHat zum Zeitpunkt der Bewertung nicht mehr für dieses Unternehmen gearbeitet.
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
None, they do not want you to gain experience, because then they would have to pay you more.
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
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 All you do is excel lists, stupid SM posts, and other completely outdated tasks.

Wouldn't recommend my worst enemy to work here
Hat zum Zeitpunkt der Bewertung nicht mehr für dieses Unternehmen gearbeitet.
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
I can't think of a single thing, except for an impressive client portfolio (with whom you are not allowed to be directly in contact.)
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Be kinder, more compassionate, and understanding of your contemporaries. Maybe also get some professional help.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Subjectively a deeply unpleasant and traumatizing experience with management lacking basic interpersonal skills, with humiliation, disrespect, and pressure on employees being recurring. The general atmosphere was perceived as horrific and management's attitude and management skills (or lack thereof) frequently led to immense dissatisfaction among employees. Subjectively, the atmosphere is toxic, rife with favoritism, and unrealistic expectations while being overall hostile and demoralizing.
Image
In my opinion, the general sentiment from past employees and collaborators (journalists, influencers, clients) is entirely negative.
Work-Life-Balance
In my impression, non-existent flexibility and unnegotiable below managerial (or favored) levels, despite different promises during recruitment. Working from home was agreed upon once a week and at management’s discretion, though office presence at a managerial level seemed erratic to me. In my opinion, sick leave often resulted in employees feeling pressured to work from home due to chronic understaffing, poor planning, or simply avoiding the communication of discrepancies to clients such as illness or exhausted capacity. In my opinion, the unavoidable accumulation of overtime was astronomical while being highly discouraged and met with scrutiny rather than thanks.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
In my opinion, camaraderie among colleagues was mostly strong as most sentiments appeared to be a shared experience. I believe the team consisted of creative, supportive, and passionate individuals, with some willing to go the extra mile and offer support to one another, fostering a sense of solidarity in an otherwise frustrating environment.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
In my opinion, what could have been an interesting and fulfilling job was undermined by management’s behavior, attitude, and incompetence. There seemed to be a prevailing divide, despite everyone working towards the same goals. I believe this establishment would immensely benefit from consulting or managerial training, while also ensuring competent personnel at the director level as the current approach is just keeping the owners happy at the immense expense of the team. Subjectively, the most challenging aspects of this job included management’s short temper, arrogance, overbearing demands, and micromanagement, which hindered employees’ ability to feel safe making mistakes or seeking help. In my view, there was little to zero advocacy or support from management, while an unpredictable environment marked by abrupt layoffs and hires, contributed to a high turnover rate, which further highlighted the company’s dysfunction to me.
Kommunikation
In my opinion, if there was any, communication was often cryptic and met with condescension when seeking clarification to ambiguous requests. Meetings were mostly held online (even when most participants were in the office), while I believe some meetings were simply held to micro-manage and ensure tasks were being done and just taken on.
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
In my opinion and experience, salaries are significantly below the competitive average, non-negotiable, and not livable for Zurich. I also think that the contract is entirely skewed in favor of the employer, with maximal legal working hours, minimal legal holidays, and highly questionable clauses like non-compete rules after leaving.
Interessante Aufgaben
Subjectively, while some tasks and projects are interesting, much of the work involved nonsensical reporting and creating endless Excel lists. Compared to competitive agencies, the company’s approach to PR appears extremely outdated, inefficient, and disconnected. I had the impression that clients would've benefitted much more from actual consulting rather than an agency that just accepts non-sensical projects and ideas. I also believe that the company would benefit immensely from investing into proper and not outdated task, project, and reporting management tools.

The worst PR agency in terms of management, payment, clarity and structure!
FührungskraftHat zum Zeitpunkt der Bewertung im Bereich PR / Kommunikation gearbeitet.
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
No chance
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
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”

If I could give zero stars, I would. I DO NOT recommend working there!
Ex-Angestellte/r oder Arbeiter/inHat bis 2021 im Bereich PR / Kommunikation gearbeitet.
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
Promotion only happens as a means of postponing the inevitable resignation.
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
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.

Just horrific. Don't work there.

Arbeitsatmosphäre
Management creates a toxic atmosphere. If your mental health is important to you, don't work there.
Work-Life-Balance
Overtime is announced on short notice and expected, and certainly not compensated.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Lovely colleagues. I feel sorry for everyone who still works there. Fluctuation is extremely high, but management keeps saying that's just "normal" for an agency, and try to cover up the real reasons why people keep leaving. Honestly, I have no idea how they can still be in business.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Lots of screaming and belittling involved. Choleric, untouchable, toxic, condescending... Everybody is stupid. Management think they belong to high-society, like some sort of celebrities. Which is somehow amusing.
Kommunikation
Half-assed briefings. Nobody ever knows what is expected of them. It's a guessing game. And it's never good enough.

Der absolute Horror!

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
Wird nicht gefördert. Dann würde man schliesslich ein besseres Salär verlangen.
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/Sozialleistungen
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.

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/Sozialleistungen
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.
