There are a lot of threads in the bowl, that place is universally panned as paying well below market rate and being an absolute shit show to work at.

I had a very bad experience interviewing with them and I’m sure I’m not alone.

Simpson Healthcare…we had eerily similar experiences.

I was going to follow this to get perspective. I’m vastly over experienced for the account and media roles at this place. I wanted the job because it’s very close to my son’s special needs school where I do dip off / pick up and it would essentially be like a remote position but with the bonus of being around people all day. I have received automated rejections within hours probably 5 times. I’ve reached out to the head of recruitment directly and even dropped off a package with a CV and cover letter for the CEO. Nothing. They’re not even curious enough for a conversation about getting an ex agency CEO to work there for well below salary level with all of the value add I would bring? That tells me it’s a sweat shop / Ponzi scheme / house of cards. There are a lot of small healthcare / pharma agencies in that area suckling at the teat of Pfizer, Novartis, J&J, Kenvue, GSK and the other pharma giants out in that area and the myriad of start ups / spinoffs as well. This one is different. Same jobs posted and reposted over and over. No response from executives. Definitely shady.

i’m sure curious what portfolio and accounts all these people are working on because i’m pretty happy here. the only complaints i have are typical agency complaints, nothing unique to fingerpaint. it definitely does pay below market so i can’t argue that

Need a sanity check here.

When I joined my current company, we were on a quarterly bonus structure with guaranteed payouts each quarter. This was, in fact, how the recruiter said he could meet my salary request.

The company just announced we are moving to annual payouts only, with no payments for 2023 until May 2024. There are no raises happening.

This amounts to 12% less money in my pocket in 2023 plus inflation.

Is this standard, or should I be looking for opportunities elsewhere?

I have not got a response from her yet on the mails, should I contact the hiring partner directly? other firm is asking me to update as well.
