NA - HR Generalist MAXtech Employee Review

Maxtech played a large part in launching my career. I started as an SEO specialist in 2018 when I was 23, four years later and I’m now a marketing director. The speeches the ceo gives are honestly where I learned the most. I still apply a lot of what he says in my career. The web dev manager also gives great career advice and goes above and beyond. If you want to learn and kickstart your career, this is a great place to start. -RD

The Normal agency things you run into

It's a job with a pay check...

- No real benefits beyond base pay. PTO after probationary period; but no medical, dental, or retirement. - Pay is well below industry standard, and management will find any excuse to avoid giving even cost of living increases. - Owner / CEO makes promises or offers incentives (such as bonuses, gift cards, etc) and consistently fails, or refuses, to deliver. - Complete absence of structure or process: KPIs, campaign mapping, buyer personas, content strategy, and scope-of-work documentation are virtually non-existent. - Middle management exhibits a total lack of competence with regard to marketing and advertising, as well as a general aversion to accountability: continuously over-promising to clients, and then shifting responsibility for deadlines or budget onto the marketing staff. - Owner / CEO regularly disrupts daily workflow to demand everyone's attention as he stands in the middle of the office, boasting about his personal wealth, regurgitating bullet-points from whatever audio book he listened to that day, or going on meandering sermons that border on anarcho-capitalist political rants. - Owner / CEO will often publicly badmouth former employees, brag about playing psychological mind-games in sales negotiations, or complain about having to make payroll.
