Supportive culture with high expectations and growth challenges - Anonymous employee Wolfenden Employee Review

This is an agency which has been able to scale without losing its culture and the values it started with, and I think that's why people have stuck around for such a long time. I've worked at a few agencies scaling to eventually sell and they just totally lose the focus on staff, Wolfenden hasn't - and it's clear there isn't that need to squeeze every penny out of everything! The directors do listen to feedback and suggestions, and most of the time they are actioned - whilst naturally there has to be a hierarchy, the senior team are approachable and open to feedback, and I really appreciate that. Personally I really value the flexibility and understanding that surrounds being a working Mum, and I don't feel this has held me back in my progression where I know it would at other places. Most of all I love the people, I work with the smartest team I've ever worked with, and they are all so friendly and down to earth, and that makes such a difference to happiness and satisfaction day to day.

Naturally as a smaller agency you occasionally feel the effects of the typical agency rise and fall a bit more than if you were a 100+ man agency, but even with that there is never an expectation to work beyond hours and I actually like being able to be close to the action and having an influence on overcoming challenges.

Hybrid work environment Friendly team members Well-located and pleasant office space

After handing in my notice, I felt there was a noticeable shift in how I was treated by parts of senior management, including being excluded from team events which was really disheartening. Combined with not receiving a pay rise or bonus during my two years despite managing a high client load, even more than some peers, this contributed to feeling overworked and under-compensated, and under valued.
