Shaky foundation - Investment lead BPN Employee Review

Great teamwork. Understanding supervisors. Flexible work schedule.

Small team but very efficient.

- Great benefits - Generous PTO policy - Coffee Bar in the office serves an assortment of beverages and breakfast/snack items.

-- Employees are overworked more than ever and moral is incredibly low, especially Mediabrands employees who are new to the BPN name. -- Work/Life balance can be difficult depending on the department. -- Pay rate is lower than most agencies. -- Poor communication, especially from an HR perspective. -- Culture has been non-existent since October which is terrible given new management's award winning culture at their original agency. The minimal efforts they have made have been phoned in. -- Restructure efforts were handled VERY poorly and the disorganization continues. Crucial and basic questions went unanswered for far too long, resulting in a mass scramble across departments and the problems persist. -- Poor communication and constant last minute decisions from IPG Mediabrands, results in zero execution time for anything related to Finance, Facilities, Administration and Human Resources. -- Human Resources is incompetent and blatantly disregards the "human" portion of the role. Gossipy, clueless, and/or nasty behavior has become a staple -- all characteristics which you do NOT want in an HR department.
