it is possible to get stuck in a rut in terms of pay. if you dont actively persue your own growth then dont expect a significant pay rise every year.
you do have to put up with some pretty dirty tactics from recent competitors... hence the reviews and also some serious bad mouthing to clients - fortunately we happen to be respected in the industry.. more so than companies who just buy more companies and fail to integrate them or their databases..
regularly lose the weekend - not from working just too many socials.. the next one is bubble football
Some managers just plain old shouldn't be in that position.
