Positive environment but low pay and poor culture - Consultant Lexington Communications Employee Review

Good range of clients, sometimes interesting work, occasional opportunities for responsibility. Relatively ok exit opportunities.

Poor culture, siloed teams, you’re either ‘in’ or ‘out’ of favour. Poor pay compared to industry standard with no set bands, some people make a lot more whilst being same rank, slow promotion timelines. High turn over of staff.

- Positive and supportive workplace culture, which is especially helpful when starting out in professional life. I have heard some bad stories about workplace cultures in other agencies and thankfully this is not the case at Lexington - Good social life, with lots of post-work pub trips - Variety of work across the different practices (healthcare, food and drink, transport etc clients across public affairs, communications and sustainability) - Good opportunities for progression, and I feel like I've been treated fairly when it comes to appraisals. When it comes to this it's generally what you make of it; it is typically received well when someone wants more responsibility etc - Colleagues are always interested to hear your thoughts and I felt like my opinion was valued since I first joined, which is really good for building confidence and judgement

- Pay for junior staff is not the most competitive. Realistically this is a personal decision for everyone on whether this is outweighed by good development opportunities & experience - The amount of socialising at the pub might be a draw back for non-drinkers, but there's never any pressure to drink and I have always found people very welcoming/accommodating
