Burning out and need a raise - Anonymous employee FKQ Advertising + Marketing Employee Review

Pros

Some great, talented & supportive people. Usually busy so the days pass quickly. Remote work allowed during COVID

Cons

Really low salary and inability to advance for some positions. Can’t remember when we last had reviews—so if your salary is low you’re just stuck. COVID isn’t taken seriously enough. If all precautions are voluntary, people will keep getting sick. Pressuring remote people to come in for big meetings but not protecting them is—really not good. People are getting burned out with the workload and some depts hire more people while others drown.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are pleased you share our pride in the talented and amazing team we have at FKQ. We take all feedback seriously and the Executive Committee reviews and discusses it all in detail. We appreciate your acknowledgement in our flexibility around remote work. We will continue to work with each FKQ’er individually, along with their department head, to create a positive structure for everyone. Since the pandemic began, we have thoughtfully and carefully considered a multitude of business decisions with the personal and professional well-being of our team as a priority. Unlike many other agencies, we did not institute mass layoffs. Instead we took measured steps to preserve our team, even with significant changes to our billings at the onset of the pandemic. And since then, as workloads returned to pre-pandemic levels, we’ve worked hard in every department to quickly address changing needs and invest in more resources. Career advancement, competitive compensation and regular feedback on performance have always been a priority for FKQ. We’d value the opportunity to discuss your personal situation. Enthusiasm to safely and appropriately host Clients and associates at FKQ should not be confused with pressure. We closely follow local, state and CDC guidelines for in-office protocols. Thank you again for your feedback. We have many avenues for feedback including contacting your direct Supervisor, our office manager or any member of management. We hope you will contact a member of the Executive team by phone or via feedback@fkq.com so we can better understand and work to improve upon the feedback you shared here.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We take all feedback seriously and the Executive Committee reviews and discusses it all in detail. We are happy to hear you enjoyed working with your coworkers. We strive to offer a work environment that is collaborative and team oriented – so we appreciate that you mentioned there are lots of opportunities to cross-learn. We would agree! Career advancement, competitive compensation and regular feedback on performance have always been a priority for FKQ. We’d value the opportunity to discuss your personal situation. We value the expertise each team member brings to the organization. Our hiring process is designed to bring in professionals who can act as subject matter experts, allowing us to rely on their knowledge to provide valuable insights and direction. However, if an FKQ is interested in additional trainings or professional seminars to continue their professional growth, we are pleased to provide the time and resources based on each request and the need. To maintain consistent communication, we encourage FKQ’ers to share their feedback with their supervisors in their weekly meetings or simply pick up the phone anytime so any concerns can be addressed right away. Again, thank you for your feedback and if you have any additional thoughts to share, please don’t hesitate to call any member of the Executive Committee directly or send an email to feedback@fkq.com.
