Not a good place to work
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
nothing
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
bad salary, terrible management team, unprofessional line manager, no real benefits. They keep us happy by offering pizza and croissant, while salary was the same even though inflation rises. No bonus, no flexibility, nothing.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Increase salary for your employees. Please do not keep someone in the team just because they work there for many years, even though they are not at all competent
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Since TBWA merged with Heimat, the whole management changed in a bad way. The new management team focuses purely on awards and business. Their motive is ''nothing is good enough'' and ''you have to be better'' while bringing no incentives for the employees to do so.
Kommunikation
They like to keep everything in secret, no transparency over any changes in the company.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Most of the people are nice
Work-Life-Balance
Overall most of the time, I can finish on time (9 to 6). Sometimes there would be over hours, but there is no compensation for that. You don't get paid extra if you work over hour, or you cannot start later the next day. If I left 15 minutes earlier due to low workload, the line manager would make a comment and show an attitude that made you very uncomfortable to do so.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
My line manager is a mean person. He snaps at people and throws mean comments around whenever he's not in a good mood, extremely unprofessional. When mood in the agency got worse after the merge, instead of listening and standing up for us, he just said ''It is what it is''. When I said I felt stressed coming to work, he said ''If I were you, I would quit''. What a motivational speech.
Whenever there were conflicts, he would get super defensive and started to get into bad mood. He doesn't know how to deal with people or how to motivate people to work better. He offered help all the time, but whenever we asked for help, he would be like ''why did you ask such things''.
The line manager even questioned or hinted his opinion if someone on sick leave was really sick. He would make up lies that other team members said bad things about a person, to make the targeted person feel bad.
Interessante Aufgaben
my tasks were boring and repeatable. There was nothing new to learn.
Arbeitsbedingungen
super hot during summer as there is no AC in the new building, otherwise, good location
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
Salary is very bad, I think one of the worst among the advertising agencies. And they will not automatically give you anything even if you do a good job. You have to beg for it or threaten to quit, even then they will be hesitant. No bonus, no extra hour compensation.
