Pros

Pay, They have to pay good wages because if they didn't then why would you work here.

Cons

Leadership - As you will see from the many real reviews from past employees there is a serious problem from the top down. If you are not loyal you are out. I have never had my mental health impacted by a single individual more. The leadership keeps you guessing constantly if you are going to be fired. The only way they think that they can get results is through fear and threats to your job. This takes a huge toll on an individual. Evidence of this is that you can clearly see past employees have been encouraged to put favourable reviews to appease leadership. - The culture: The whole culture is based on adoration of the Leadership. Loyalty to the leadership is the only thing that matters. Shaming in meetings and behind the scenes bad mouthing is common place. Again usually initiated by the leadership , I was surprised to see that they did it even to her most loyal employees who had worked there for years. - The work: Ecrubox will say they have some special "sauce" and are unlike any other agency, but this isn't the case. Its all fluff, there is no real strategy and its all made up waffle. You find yourself nodding away at these meaningless statements they make up for their clients. This review is an honest opinion: I gain nothing from giving it, and the leadership are the sort of people you don't want to be on the wrong side of, but thinking back on my time, and seeing the brave other former employees who have given their real experiences I felt a duty to let people know. Approach with caution. If you are going to take the job negotiate the biggest salary you can. And then look for jobs as back ups the whole time you are there.

We were honestly shocked to read this review, and a few tears were even shed. They shouldn’t be, because the internet is a funny place, but at the end of the day, we are people and humans. It matters a great deal to us to be open about feedback, yet we cannot link what has been written to any role that has ever existed here or to any feedback raised in the many open and anonymous sessions we have run over the years. We reached out to the only person who has ever held a project’s role with us, and they confirmed it was not their words and told us they were equally shocked to read them. The review was also updated to remove mention of another agency, which we appreciate, and we have been in touch with them in case it was misdirected. Ecrubox is proud of its award-winning culture, its flat and open leadership, and its absolute commitment to data-driven strategy. At the heart of this is a belief that people should always be able to work in polite, friendly, welcoming and inclusive environments. We have gone to the ends of the earth to make that so, which makes reading comments like this even more upsetting. The days of agencies where people were afraid of speaking up or felt they had to bow down to leaders are long gone, and we would play no part in that historic and unpleasant world. That is a big part of why we launched Ecrubox, and we are proud of what we have made together. We cannot help but feel this review may reflect personal relationships outside of the office that we are unaware of, but we want to stress how much we welcome genuine conversation. We regularly host open events in London and Worcester, where anyone is free to come and meet the team, although we do not have a Birmingham office. If this review was meant for another agency, as it originally suggested, please do let them know, as Glassdoor cannot automatically move it across. Alex, Ecrubox

Pros

“Bloom where you planted”, they say - but there’s more to it. When placed on the wrong side of the garden with not enough light and good soil, a plant can’t grow the way it should. The same goes for us people; when not placed in the right environment, with no support behind you, you can’t bloom to the fullest. My journey within this agency hasn’t been linear, but in spite of this, my next steps have become much clearer because of this journey. My potential was seen, a chance was taken on me, and I was repotted to the right side of the garden. With the right support, trust and guidance, you can end up in places that have never even come to your mind! Starting as a Digital Marketing graduate, to then be a part of the development team and work on tasks such as accessibility audits was not on my radar. However, I can say that this part of the garden has been a great one for me.

Pros

Ecrubox is an exceptional company to work for, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. The owner's generosity shines through in the amazing benefits offered, from a fully stocked snack bar that keeps us energized throughout the day to the incredible flexibility in work hours that allows me to balance my family life seamlessly. What really sets Ecrubox apart is the management team's commitment to fostering an open culture where employee engagement is a priority. They actively seek input and encourage a collaborative atmosphere, making it a pleasure to be part of the team. It's refreshing to work for a company that truly values its employees and promotes a positive work environment. I highly recommend Ecrubox to anyone looking for a workplace that prioritises both professional growth and personal well-being.

Cons

Ecrubox is a very busy agency, but even during peak times, I have felt supported.
