Inconvénients
Complex structure Since becoming Inizio Engage XD the things that made this a unique, stand out agency have been lost. The kind and caring culture feels a distant memory and it’s more of a churn and burn now. The company wants more more more from you without much in return. Certainly not more pay or a bonus… No bonuses, which I have never experienced at any other agency I’ve worked for Payrises and promotions are not given in line with experience or on merit, but rather on a pre-planned ‘get in the queue’ basis There are regular pay and promotion freezes Too many people in Head of this, Lead of that roles when it’s not clear what they actually do. Especially since the inception of Inizio Every year I have been here people have been made redundant, which is unnerving It lacks that fun agency vibe and there are very few social activities or mixers. When they do happen they’re quite naff… For example, the Christmas party is usually at a chain bar round the corner from the office with a bit of finger food and cheap wine. Lack lustre for an agency who deliver such incredible events… it’s not that this is an essential perk or anything, but it’s one of those things that shows your employees you value what they’ve done in the year gone by and want to celebrate (especially when you’re scrimping on the pay rises and there’s no Christmas bonus). In short, the people at the top don’t give a hoot about the workers, they just want to line their pockets. Once a company with a real difference, now just another corporate meat grinder
