Townsquare Ignite reviews

Management converted our bonus structure to salary but then took away the yearly salary increase so basically, you make the same as you did last year. They acted like it was some great thing but the truth is you are not getting a pay raise. Whats funny is upper management brags about how much the company is growing but they can't share any salary growth with the employees. Almost everyone on my "team" was looking for another job. They say they promote from within but the amount of promotions last year was less than 10 people. There is no career path and management doesn't understand what a career path is. Of those promotions, several quit within weeks of getting promoted. This company can't hang on to its best and brightest. Consider that when taking a job here. The trainer is a joke and knows nothing about what a Digital Campaign Manager does. Her training material is always outdated and hard to find. Once you find it, it's incomplete. She does nothing but brag about vacations and building her pool. The company culture functions on who is to blame for what. There is no accountability from the sales department and they are allowed to treat the Digital Campaign managers like crap while management just allows it. Your direct manager has no input at all into your annual review. It's all done by the director who you may have zero relationship with.

Basically everything else… pay isn’t competitive industry wide, and you’re asked to be a BDR, Account Executive, Account Manager, and strategist all in one role while being very under paid and under appreciated. Some middle managers seem to care but nothing is ever done to change things for the better, which means upper management doesn’t care at all. You’ll be treated like a child, despite being told it’s a “senior” role. EXTREMELY MICRO MANAGING COMPANY! Forced to work in a grungy office in a cube that has leaks, air conditioning fails all the time, and is rarely cleaned. They do this so they can keep an eye on you, and we’ve been told they don’t trust us to work remotely (which makes zero sense). You get absolutely no flexibility unless you’re best friends with members of the management team. If you’re not, good luck. The advertising services are not at all what they are positioned to be- it’s a high margin grab at the expense of small businesses with no intention of getting them results. Performance based retention only works if you perform… which is why they keep having to increase minimums and lengthen contracts. Just not a good place to work unless you want to be drained of all your optimism.
