Decent learning oppportunities but burnout and low pay issues

Senior associate, programmatic

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great place to learn if you're new and on the good account. Team can be very supportive of your growth and push you to excel where you want.

Cons

Currently on a horrible client that demands fast turn-around times. Management doesn't push back and allows rushed or last minute launches with vague or incomplete specs, budgets, creatives. Very burnt out and not learning anything at the moment. Constantly just launching campaigns with no idea how they are performing. Promised many times that promotions were coming but been hanging on for literal years. Haven't moved up once. Pay is a bit low. My pay is a result of state laws that require a minimum to be met. Haven't had an actual pay increase that was directly tied to the work i was doing.
