Pros
- Great way to work with multiple stakeholders. - Getting to awesome people from Microsoft. - Friendly and welcoming marketing coordinators.
Cons
- Bad HR for in-house employees. - Unhealthy work pressure. - Little to no care about mental health. - Toxic and uncontrolled work environment. - Hypocrisy at it finest - saying to care about mental health, but still giving you loads of work. - False promises are being sold to get people in (most people ‘think’ they are going to learn and develop from a high profile client, but instead, with the new regulations in place, are finding out the hard way that’s a lonely place). - As an in-house employee, you are not allowed to go to the clients office, unless you have an event. - Not welcome at your local WT office, because you are an in-house employee. Also excluded from a lot of other WT fun gatherings. - No career development - your journey ends as marketing coordinator. - Poor primary and secondary benefits. - Limit to no teambuilding activities - most initiatives are coming from the marketing coordinators themselves, but NOT from WT. - No clear guidelines are being presented to the client, which leads to the employee being the scapegoat and taking the heat.
