Pros

Some great clients to work with, good expertise & knowledge, opportunities to work across some fun campaigns

Cons

In my experience Tangerine employ young marketers and want blood, sweat and tears. You will be expected to work unpaid overtime on tasks until the job is done. They had little interest in progressing my career as a junior marketer. Don't take my word for it, though - ask about their staff turnover rate. I found the culture to be extremely toxic - while i was there they had a group Whatsapp chat for out of works social gatherings that i was never invited to join, despite enquiring about it. It felt very cliquey. I think Tangerine are an exceptionally talented bunch, with lots of awards to prove it - but they need to realise that people would rather have an inclusive workplace culture and a kinder, more nurturing approach to management than awards on the shelves.

Pros

You get to work with some big clients that are good for your portfolio. Training budget available for you to learn some new skills.

Cons

This role took a huge toll on my mental health. The whole culture is built to serve the higher ups, or the favourites (which you'll quickly know if you are). You regularly won't get lunch breaks and are lucky if you ever finish on time. Expected to work late or log on on weekends with no thanks or appreciation. Due to the work mobile, you will be expected to be contactable 24/7, sometimes even during annual leave. Agency work generally is busy, yes, but a complete lack of work life balance is unhealthy. Blame culture is strong, it's always pushed down onto the lower roles if something goes wrong, and credit is often only give to seniors.

Pros

Friday drinks is about it really

Cons

I have never worked in such a cliquey environment. It’s as though there is a hierarchy system within it, which straight away is so unbelievably toxic. You are penalised for wanting to leave your job on time when you have completed all of your work (not to mention when they stop paying you), they have a complete disregard for your mental health, the managers are so dismissive of your feelings and it seems as though are more concerned with going out for lunches and how they look to clients rather than how their employees are doing. Extremely negative atmosphere and make you feel so unwelcome. Act across social media platforms that they are really forward-thinking and ok with with people working from home etc but they should spend more time learning to trust their employees, treating them well and with respect rather than putting on a front and being like ‘hey everyone like how cool we are’ when you make your employees feel like you don’t trust them, question their capabilities and are they constantly putting them down.
