No Upward Mobility for Corporate Employees - Marketing Coordinator Parkhill Employee Review

Marketing is seen as glorified clerical workers to most in the company. Despite the fact that we are all professionals with degrees and experience in our field, we are expected to simply do as we are told and not give any input on the processes or deliverables. You can work in corporate 20+ years and not even make it to Associate of the firm, despite working tirelessly to help others succeed. There is definitely an "in-crowd" at the firm, who are hand-picked by one of the board members and rise to the top quickly, while others who have been at the firm longer and offer a lot to the company are continuously overlooked. The diversity at Parkhill is atrocious. Their "Meet the Team" will let you see for yourself. If you are not a white male, you will probably not do well here. While proposal champions get all the credit for winning new business, coordinators are expected to support them by working late and on weekends to put together the content that they always seem to turn over to us at 5 pm on Fridays before it's due. Marketing leadership will not go to bat for you. Parkhill pays their marketing team less than any other comparable firm in Texas.
