Zimmerman Advertising reviews

Extremely high churn. Exploits its employees. Interdepartmental fighting. Caste classes for client accounts. Some clients get unlimited attention, the rest are ignored.

To me, Zimmerman is a 'get in, get out' type of company. You make your way into the industry and build your resume and then get out as soon as possible. The only way you can actually grow, move up and make decent money is to stay there for a decade. The starting pay and then after hitting a year is not even feasible for someone straight of college, you have no way of supporting yourself. People actually decline their job offers because they can't afford to live off of what the company is willing to pay. This happens because they know some other poor graduate is going to come in and accept the job because they simply just want experience. What kind of culture is that? Why would you not want the best of the best working for your company and your top clients, not just someone that is willing work for nothing when they might not even be completely qualified. With having so many big brands, you would think they would like to treat their clients with the best they can give them. On the working side of things, the amount of micromanaging that takes place on a daily basis is unreal. The work they have you doing is not even worth getting paid so little and to have someone on your back constantly is not what you want to be dealing with. You have supervisors on high horses that are literally glorified babysitters, while everyone else is working on everything that needs to get out the door. My first 6 months, 4 people quit in my department, not one of them regret it. The company is known for their turnover rate. As stated before, I definitely learned a lot and got real world experience with a big name on my resume but I will literally never got back.
