Worst work/life balance and morale, solid pay and benefits

Is it worth it?

I’ve found it varies more by client team and department than agency

like

Pre-pandemic I’d have said we were great for everything but pay.

Due to dragging feet on hiring to back fill short-sighted layoffs, reductions, and simply folks leaving, we are incredibly understaffed across the board. And worse, we are more top heavy than ever.

Leadership chases new biz like we’re triple the size we really are, at least in NA. Work/life balance and morale have absolutely tanked and I don’t see it getting better.

like

Just put in my two week notice at Weber today for this exact reason. The damage that has been done across the board seems non repairable, at least in the near future. Everyone is being extremely overworked and it is not reflected in our salaries, yet leadership is still lazor focused on every win they can get while we don’t have the bandwidth to support new clients.
