Pros

A handful or people are great.

Cons

NEVER practice what they preach. Management is horrible in so many departments. Nothing is consistent throughout the agency. Growing way too fast to earn a quick buck, but forgetting about the rest of the people working here currently. Bases how hard employees work on billable hours and not conversations with them.

Thank you for your review, and the candid comments on your experience. As you know Real Chemistry is in a high growth mode, and I know this growth increases the pressure on our employees, which is particularly challenging through the pandemic and working remotely. This does not mean that we do not believe in investing in our employees. As Chief People Officer I am constantly thinking about how we can better support our people, giving them time to focus on personal growth (in addition to revenue growth) is an area we are continuously improving. Clearly we don’t always get this balance right, as your experience represents. We are listening to this feedback, thank you for sharing. Stephanie Garcia, Chief People Officer

Pros

- none. this company is soul suckingly inefficient and they prefer it that way

Cons

- the most dishonest and toxic work environment that I have ever been a part of - the most unqualified management that I have come across (I have worked across numerous agencies - the work is sketchy at best and clients are grossly over billed. Pressuring employees to over bill clients and trying to force inaccurate or incomplete work through the purposely inefficient review processes is common practice at RC - if you do not over bill your clients your managers will begin to micromanage you in a manner that hints at you not doing enough. - Account teams know nothing about media or advertising and make the most uninformed promises to clients and that media activation is constantly on the hook and being blamed for - they hire very little or no men in general. this place is like a toxic middle school atmosphere, it is truly exhausting to be a part of. - managers will routinely insult you in a way you've never been insulted before at work and nothing will be done about it - information is usually gate kept and teams will prevent you from doing your job while management is asking that you contribute more.
