Symmetri Marketing Group reviews about "people"

Some processes that should work well at an agency that's been doing this for a while are a bit old and need to be fixed. Keep employees in the know on agency operations.

No flexibility whatsoever in work schedule, working from home, etc. Literally before Covid, working from home was not ok and you'd be majorly shamed for doing it. All throughout Covid, the president was chomping at the bit to get people back into the office because he thinks people who aren't in the office aren't working. computers are old and crappy and slow PTO is a joke Pay is a joke They promise bonuses, they never happen The owner/president is verbally abusive to employees, and several people quit because of this They say they want to change to become more modern but then vehemently oppose any type of change Super cliquey, and the clique likes to pretend that they aren't cliquey and get offended when they are told that they are, but they are. It's unprofessional and honestly pathetic. There is no diversity at this agency, and no push to be diverse, diversity isn't valued at all.

As with any smaller agency, you end up wearing a lot of hats. Some might find this to be a bad thing, but for me, it was not.

Management is clueless about who is pulling their weight. The owners pretend to be your friend, but don't do the hard work of solving problems. They just move on to the next shiny new toy. Departments are a bunch of cliques.

Poor morale due to toxic leadership. The President lacked vision, direction, people skills and requires employees to exhaust him. He frequently and openly discussed firing people - with or without merit for doing so - and fostered an overall terrible culture.
