Pros

Initially comp is competitive but raises and bonuses are dismal.

Cons

Toxic mean girls leading teams. A major "pay your dues" mentality. The power trip some of these people are on is absolutely insane. There is also a blatant disregard for the SME teams. They operate and truly believe the account teams are smarter. If you work in social, influencer, analytics or any specialty, go somewhere else. Your contributions will not be valued at Real Chemistry.

Thanks for sharing your feedback from your time working at Real Chemistry. Compensation should be fair and competitive throughout the employee lifecycle, which is why have a new leader of Total Rewards. We also believe we are best together. Your experience is not the Real Chemistry employee experience we strive to create. ALL our teams are necessary to innovate with clients to truly make an impact. Each team is a part of the strategy we’ve built out to provide integrated solutions, and has an equal importance to how we do business. --Wendy Carhart, Chief Communications, Culture, and Purpose 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.
