Supportive Leadership & Posititive Culture - Digital Account Manager Eystudios Employee Review

EYStudios is a great place to work. I've been here over 3 years, and most of our employees have a really long tenure. Like an agency, there's a ton of room to get involved with a large range of roles and areas of focus, which puts you on a fast track to more expertise, which I love. That being said, since there aren't 100s of employees to pick up the slack, every person matters and has to pull their weight. Some people don't like that, and probably just aren't a fit for agency life. Leadership is great, and really dedicated to the wellbeing of the employees, which is why many stay (I think our longest tenure is like 11 years, with many at 9, 7, etc.) Unlimited time off after 2 years of service is great. The job and people are very flexible. Very positive leadership style. Yelling, threatening, etc. do not fly here.

It's an agency, and a small business, so while that is not a con for me, it definitely will be for some people. There's really no place to hide if you don't want to put in full effort. Benefits are small business benefits, so know what you're signing up for before you do. Fast paced and every changing environment. Again, I love that about it, but if you want a place where things are set in stone and every situation is governed by a corporate handbook, look elsewhere

-I truly don't believe any of the issues come from a place of malice or cruelty. - Probably won't be around much longer

- The CEO is the worst aspect of this company. He is a man child. He insists on being involved in every aspect of the company (to an extreme micromanaging degree) but is incapable of staying on task, making deadlines, making plans, or using any sort of technology to communicate. No matter how many times you make a joke out of it "he's our worst client" is not funny, it's insane. You need to have both big picture thinkers and planners in a work environment and this place is filled with big picture thinkers who ignore planners. - Communication issues are solved by more pointless meetings that get nothing done. -The write up process is childish. If you want to fire me, fire me. If you want to yell at me, yell at me. Having a three strikes and you're out write up policy just has people looking for a new job after strike 2. - You're not a backwater Mississippi agency, you shouldn't have a bible verse in your mission statement. It comes across as "oh backwards hicks who impose their religious views on everyone, own this company." Businesses who operate on the scale that EYStudios does should not have a religion. If I was a client considering EYStudios I would run the other direction FAST. - No raise or bonus in multiple years despite economic downturn. (THOUGH, there was a cash incentive announcement on a company meeting that ONLY applied to certain people and not everyone. Basically rubbing it in everyone's faces that they're eligible for bonuses and we're not.) - There's an inner circle at EY that keeps secrets, doesn't communicate, and consistently causes issues for everyone not in the inner circle. - No equipment provided for remote workers. - Horrible insurance and benefits
