Inconvénients
ISL’s acquisition by JWT is more a blessing than a curse for a company who has never regarded KPI’s, KLI’s and ROI’s as anything more than tangential numbers. The content that is created is made at the whims of executive team members, hard facts and analytics disregarded. Perhaps the acquisition will also help to root out the nepotism that exists, the middle school Mean Girls environment that has prospered for years, and the upper level management who have an elementary school grasp on digital marketing. Read through a few of management’s bios, the number of years they have spent within the safe confines and cluelessness of ISL should alarm you. I will abbreviate the additional con’s in bullet form so that my post hopefully doesn't get taken down for a 10th time (s/o to people trolling this to report it): -Yearly reviews that favor those who spend time drinking and attending company happy hours -No pay for time worked, paltry salaries as compared to industry averages -Unbearably inept management -No ability to grow or room for promotion within this haphazardly constructed company -Desperate times- leadership now solicits for new business by having employees use personal connections. When asked what incentive employees have, they answer “your job.”
