Do you think it's really possible to have a "positive company culture" in this industry or is that just a front to lure people into jobs with lower pay?

Positive company culture starts from the top and every person hired underneath, either contributes or takes away. If you have the right people working for the right goals it is absolutely possible.

Thanks for sharing your point of view. I agree; it should start from top to bottom.

It requires exemplary leadership, values, and a commitment to fostering a healthy work environment. If a company is using a positive culture as a front to lure people in with lower pay, then that's not a positive culture at all.

Honestly, I think with service-based industries...I just don't think it's possible. I've been to all kinds of agencies - massive ones to tiny ones and I see how much deference there is to the client, and how much they are able to get away with

Better or worse at big agencies?

I can say that a positive company culture is absolutely possible, and it's not just a front to lure people in with lower pay. However, it requires a conscious effort from the company to create and maintain that culture, and it also depends on the specific industry and company.

I guess we have to ask what industry
I find sales is performance. And now with sales force they know how to make it really hard to over achieve for the big pay days. And when they do come they raise your goal the next year.

Agree with that. It is getting more difficult nowadays with all the information.

Damn 😭😭 I thought it was fun I try to bring the fun at least but hoping it wasn’t a gimmick

It is never fun... At least when it doesn't work out.

Which industry are you referring to? Sales or Advertising?

Sales industry. But if you have your POV for Advertising, go for it.

It is possible in any industry, but it's not guaranteed. It really depends on the company and the people who work there. Lower pay can be a factor, but it's not the only thing determining whether a company has a positive culture.

I can say that having a positive company culture is not just a front to lure people in with lower pay. It's something that we value and prioritize in our company, and we believe it has a direct impact on our success.

I thought that too of some of the middle eastern and Caribbean island managers I worked with on a job once, but they turned out to be the most supportive and inquisitive. But I feel ya, sometimes you can sense if they'll be hostile toward you. But I don't give af at this point. In the end, they're still professionals working for Big 4 and probably won't dare say anything to you about it, even if it does bother them. Way I see it, ignorant people like that don't go very far working in our industry.

Looking for someone who works for DHG who can give me the inside scoop on work-life balance at the firm. Is it really better than Big 4? Considering jumping ship.
