Good team, but management needs improvement - werkgeversreview Digital Marketing Specialist bij Elite Digital

Let me just say that I never write reviews for anything. I'm just not the type of person who shares their experience, whether it's good or bad. But, in this case I'm making an exception because I know the CEO (Rob) looks closely at Glassdoor. I have worked at many different companies (some agencies, some others) and I have never seen a CEO that cares this much about his people. Sure, he says the words "Elite Family" over and over again, but it's so very clear that it isn't just words to him. His actions support those words, and it spills over to the whole leadership team. Everyone really goes the extra mile to make sure the team is cared for and supported. Last Friday was the annual Elite Holiday Party, which is what triggered me to write this review. It was the most fun I've had at a work event, ever. There's not even a close second. It didn't even feel like a work event. It was just a bunch of really great people, having so much fun together. People from every level of the organization, in every department, all just having fun and letting loose. When people talk about good workplace culture, you can really see that shine at Elite. Day to day the work is challenging and rewarding. I get to work on a large mix of brands/companies, which is nice. It's not the same thing day in and day out like in some other jobs I've worked. We use all the modern tools, and I find I'm often learning something new. To Rob specifically, when you read this... keep doing what you're doing. We all appreciate it and we all feel it every day.

There's not much negative to say. Processes seem to be evolving rapidly, and while Elite University helps, I'd suggest having more training when new things are rolled out so everyone is on the same page.

The vibe at Elite Digital is really special because of all the great people. From the top of the organization to the bottom, everyone is really friendly, collaborative and down to earth. I've worked at a lot of places and never seen a culture as welcoming and supportive as what I found at Elite Digital. There are really fun team building activities and events that I often tell my friends about. Their companies do nothing, and at Elite Digital it seems to be non-stop. Rob, the CEO, clearly cares about everyone having fun. The company is also focused on AI, so there's a lot of interesting learnings to stay ahead of the curve. The clients are very diverse, which keeps things both interesting and challenging.

The budgets for clients are sometimes a bit too tight that we can't do everything we'd want to do. I also don't really like having to log time in Harvest.
