- Below average pay
- Very little room for growth
- Deep-rooted politics in upper management and leadership
The pay at Radancy (like most agencies) is below average but not terrible. There was a recent company-wide pay bump which was nice.
Most teams at Radancy are good about career pathing and supporting growth. On the content team, the lack of opportunities for content marketers to learn new skills and grow is a big problem. As a marketer, the only way to grow is to be a content strategist. Anything other than that or past that – forget it. Throughout my time at Radancy, I was very open with management and leaders about my aspirations and goals to grow within Radancy on a different team. After 6-8 months of receiving almost no support and getting shot down repeatedly, I felt I had no choice but to look for opportunities elsewhere.
This may not be a con to some people, but the content team is becoming a solely social media strategy team. Before recent changes to the team’s structure and scope of work, content marketers used to be involved in actually creating and writing social content and long-form web content/landing pages – but that is now changing. Now, 90% of the marketer's work is setting up PowerPoints, scheduling social posts, submitting creative briefs, and pulling social data spreadsheets. If you’re looking for a social media-intensive role and are interested in social strategy, it’s a great opportunity. If you’re looking for a CONTENT role where you can write/be creative – look elsewhere.
