Great Platform, terrible leadership - Anonymous employee Aspire Employee Review

The experience was great, had lots of mentorship.

Limited hands-on work on projects

A remote environment and lots of independent work depending on your manager/team

The agency can be very passive when it comes to deadlines. The brands will push all these really tight deadlines, associates do all the work to met those deadlines and because of something on the brand's end (late to content review, late to ship out products, etc...) its pushes the whole campaign back. I think the agency needs to do a better job at holding the clients accountable when it comes to deadlines and when it comes to influencer budgets. Instead of just saying yes to everything the client askes for, the campaign managers need to be more realistic with them about the tasks that are within the associate scope as well as they type of influencers we can contract for them based on their budgets. The CEO also has a very we "live to serve our clients" type of attitude and comes off very aloof. Also not sure if the company still uses GAs who help on campaigns, but they need to align their training with how they train the associates. The amount of times I've had to go back and fix the work of GAs who are supposed to be helping is ridiculous. Lastly, the agency boasts about how you can do everything on the platform but on the agency side a majority of work happens off platform on google sheets.
