Run, and run fast. - Anonymous employee Sircle Media Solutions Employee Review

The red flags were shown very early, and there are many. Starting from the top, leadership is abysmal. You're encouraged with fluffy words and when it comes time for issues at hand, you're met with their favorite and only solution: 'you should time-manage better'. They will tell you they can't fix what they don't know when you reach a breaking point, but employees live in fear of speaking up because these type of conversations are NEVER well received with leadership. You are knit-picked and called out for the emails you do or don't send, audited and scored on rotation for everything you do which is so degrading at times, and are constantly overworked with internal procedures that leave you with ZERO time to get actual work done, which that alone is alot. They will say how it's all very autonomous, but if you step a toe out of line, it's emails, discussions, 1 on 1's - on how you will fix and be better. There is ZERO work-life balance, sadly. No matter how hard they preach there is, the expectation is to get it all done, no matter if you're struggling or what your workload is. The line between professional and personal life is so blurred, it's egregious. Not to mention the company president, who suffers from a god-complex, constantly urging this type of narrative: If you're not a go-getter (working 50+ work weeks), ride or die the for culture (which is toxic), do it all for the clients (for a low salary), you're lazy. Sircle Media loves to hire "new and fresh" out-of-college people who they can "mold" because they lack the skills to realize how there are no boundaries at this company, workload is astronomical, and salary here is peanuts compared to real market value. Words from their president: "we don't hire seasoned employees with bad habits"(aka people who know their self-worth and know the expectation of how other agencies/companies operate.) Their internal departments are filled with people who message you 10x time per day to do their own work for them and will be the first to report something to leadership. Yet you cannot complain to leadership, because they're all friends and sadly favoritism is very real at Sircle Media. Save yourself the 50+ hour work weeks, military boot camp/cult energy, pretentious leadership, and entry level pay with senior level expectations. Run the other direction, you'll still be a fantastic marketer/creator. The company is not what it seems from the posts on LinkedIn.
