Now that you're out of my life, I'm so much better - Anonymous employee AbelsonTaylor Employee Review

Thanks for the feedback and I appreciate that you are satisfied with the performance of our CEO. I’m also glad to hear you like the free lunch Friday, charity and learning opportunities. We pride ourselves in being able to give back to local charities and offering learning and training opportunities for our employees. While working in advertising can be a bit crazy from time to time, it’s unfortunate you felt so consumed and unhealthy. We would never want that for our employees. We recently asked employees for feedback and heard a desire for more flexibility, so we introduced summer Fridays and more flexibility around working from home. It has been widely successful thus far. Additionally, our SWOT analysis (from an outside consultant) of the Agency was just completed. We were able to gain internal and external perspectives on our areas of strengths, areas that need additional attention and areas of opportunity to help us achieve our important objectives for this year and beyond. We have already implemented some of these tactics and will continue to do so for the remainder of the year. And with our successful in-house professional development program in place, our employees are able to participate in a variety of courses to further their growth potential here at AT. As you know, we are an independent agency and will always continue to be. That’s what sets us apart from the rest. We are an employee owned company with 14 partners, and that number will continue to grow. The potential for our staff is huge as far as a career growth goes. With an average tenure of 8.5 years, compared to the national average of around 4 years, the opportunities for growth is almost double. Not to mention, our turnover rate is far below the average for an advertising agency. I appreciate your feedback and wish you the best of luck on your future endeavors.
