I'd be willing to bet they all underpay some of their staff. The only thing differing between agencies is the proportion of staff being underpaid.
the ones who're happy with their salary don't go on Glassdoor. that platform is not a good benchmark.
Agencies still pay top dollar for the top 1% of talent. This talent is likely contractually obliged to never share their salary and would probably not post it on Glassdoor.
I know this because I’m one of the people above and have received YoY raises, one being a 50% raise when I had an offer to leave. I was also given a £10K one off stock reward as a spot bonus by a CCO in my network last year which vests in 2yrs. It’s not much, but it’s something.
The reality is that 95% of people working in agencies are very average at their jobs. Moan. And don’t go above and beyond.
If you bleed a bit you’ll get 25% above market rate for your years of experience. Trust me.
@Creative1 I think you’ve focused on the wrong aspect of my post.
Whilst you’re correct that my extra rewards don’t accurately reflect my extra efforts (capitalism in essence), the truth of my point remains:
You have to put in more effort above the average 9-5’er to get extra rewards.
Whilst there will of course be other elements that inform success like you outline - luck, timing, relationships - there remains one thing you are in control of: your output.
You also highlight a very relevant point about the disparity between my extra reward and extra effort - that a key skill in the workplace is demonstrating the value of your labour to managers.
So whilst I might not of worked 50% extra harder to get 50% extra rewards, the perceived value of my output in the eyes of my managers is 50% more.
The model of any business is based on paying the vast majority of its staff as little as they can get away with. Agencies are particularly dysfunctional in terms of their business model so it’s particularly acute in our industry.
