Thank you for your candid response and voicing your concerns. We understand the ongoing struggle to find work/life balance in our high growth, fast paced environment, and share this commentary with leadership to continue improving our internal efforts to address these concerns. There are operational improvements being made and trainings in which managers learn how to lead and support their direct reports, however I would also invite you to reach out to me with any specific areas of process or solutions that are lacking. -Brian Gibbons, CPO

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.
