Pros

nothing comes to mind here. PTO is ok. Health insurance is average. for a healthcare communication company, they can do so much better.

Cons

where to begin? This place is a circus. People in and out alll the time! restructuring every other day. The "promotions" might as well be yearly adjustments because they are pathetic. I am not going to get specific on my department but my entire department has NO idea what they are doing. HR is willing to hire anyone with a heartbeat because so many people run out of this place. This is the place where people come in to collect a paycheck and leave! There is no collaboration despite their horrible attempt to connect us all. All the connections we get are emails from HR and our CEO about what they've done over the last month? who cares!! Make real changes that your employees can really feel. Leadership is soo in the clouds that they live in a world where the company is doing well..which ... it isn't. We do not care if you travel to Spain and UK to connect with the rest of the agency...come down to EARTH where the people are really trying and see how big of hole we have in every department.

Real Chemistry Response

Thank you for your feedback. And we have changed a lot, which we believe is crucial to staying relevant and ahead in our industry. We have transformed to ensure we are best structured to collaborate and deliver for our clients. And it takes time to adapt to these new ways of working. To that end, we strive to consistently communicate the view from our leadership to share the goals and vision for RC. We disagree with your sentiments that we are indiscriminate in hiring and our people are only focused on paychecks – this is a disservice to the hard working and talented individuals who are passionate about making an impact on the patient experience. The people are what make Real Chemistry special, and a continued focus for us to attract, grow, and support good talent. --Brian Gibbons, 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.
