Outstanding example of how a big agency should be run - Avis employé Senior Director Level Marlin Network

I really love it here. I've worked at other agencies and on the client side, and this is by far my favorite company of my career. There is such a supportive positive culture. I feel like my coworkers are my family, but also that it's okay that I have an actual family so that my work life balance is respected. My opinion is valued by my clients and Marlin and I get to do what I enjoy.

Being back on the agency side means I'm back to doing timesheets.

The people. The environment holds to a family oriented atmosphere in certain departments throughout the network.

Once you're locked in to a salary, there's no negotiating into a respectable pay when trying to move up in the company. Bonuses primarily go to upper management. The company leaders lack true transparency, and seem to think that employees are the problem for the massive turnover rate in the past 2 years. Morale is at an all time low, and you'll likely work with teams who hate their job. You'll work late nights and occasional weekends to meet deadlines, because no one has the balls to collaborate with clients on better scheduling. It's all about keeping the clients happy, because the company has to meet it's number, and losing a client would cause another layoff. Lastly, if you think you have a career path here, good luck. It's a snails race. You'll be told of a promotion or raise, but it won't happen for months because, "I put it in the system, but haven't heard back". 6 months down the road, and you'll still be waiting.
