Does anyone work at an agency where they get a bonus? How is it determined and what level are you?

Yep, I get one as I can negotiate with an MBA

When did you get it?

I get a sales commission provided that the company has hit certain revenue goals. There is a bonus for the entire team and then there’s a personal commission that’s a bit higher and it’s based on how much you’ve sold. Doesn’t matter what level you are, everyone gets the team bonus and can also get the individual bonus.

That is awesome. Are you in-house I take it?

My last agency gave bonuses to everyone (how much was determined on performance, client retention, etc). My current agency will occasionally do spot bonuses if you’ve performed well - landed a huge client, ran a major campaign.

We also get “bonuses” for employee and client referrals

It’s definitely a bummer that bonuses aren’t a bigger part of agency life. I’m always so jealous when friends get a nice check at the end of the year

Anyone have advice for advancing in your current role? My co-worker was hired in at manager level but somehow “proved” he was actually doing director level work and got a title promotion and salary increase in less than a year. I also went above and beyond my job as well (covering for him for a month while he was away on paternity leave) while taking on other projects outside of my job title and got zip—no raise or recognition. Any advice would be appreciated!
