Redstone Agency reviews

When I say avoid this place like the plague, I mean it. Below are all the cons I’ve personally experienced while working at Redstone: - They bulk fire “lay off” multiple times a year. No employee is safe! They have fired those ranging from Coordinators all the way up to Directors. Like I’m talking 15+ people in the time I worked here. It also looks like they’ve retitled everyone’s job titles who are currently there, most likely to play along with the “restructuring” storyline they tell. - They brag about being named one of “fastest growing companies” but the amount of turnover can not make this true. I’ve worked in both the agency and association side and this company is by far the worst for turnover. Even clients take notice, it’s that bad. I know multiple clients that recently left and one that is planning on leaving Redstone because they can’t deal with them anymore. The worse part is, those who were recently bulk fired have all used the same update on their LinkedIn to announce their departure as if they were told what to write to save face for Redstone. - You will work over 40 hours a week guaranteed; I was pushing 65 a week with the promise from upper management that things would get better, it didn’t! And if you complain too much about this, you will be told it’s the “industry standard” and you should expect it. - They hound on about their “amazing culture” when actually it’s the worst and everyone hates their lives. Sorry, but hosting a summer and holiday party doesn’t make up for the fact that there’s no work/life balance, employees are miserable and the pay is below average. - The environment is SUPER gossipy! If you’re in, you’re in. If you’re not, too bad and you’re the first on the chopping block. The weekly meeting amongst the upper managers is basically spent making fun of and complaining about their direct reports. They have a top small group that are untouchable and everyone else is replaceable to them. - The CEO is never available and off travelling the world but says she’s “working” while there and the President seems in over her head trying to stay float. There are far better agencies and associations to work for downtown - don’t waste your time with this one!

- Turned out to be the most unprofessional organization I've ever been a part of. - The claims like 'people are their top priority' and 'world class culture' are comical when everyone is completely burnt out 24/7/365, the executives are completely aware of this but chose not to fix it. - Turnover is *extraordinarily* high on all teams and there's a frequent rotation of staff going on stress leaves (some being let go while on leave). - Nothing like being told you're "allowed to take a 15 minute break to cry" - The high turnover is managed sloppily resulting in both clients and internal teams dealing with the brunt of the fallout from the poor planning and lack of organization. - The executives blame lower level staff for the failings of the company and never take accountability. Toxic doesn't even begin to describe it. - Zero efforts are made to foster any kind of diversity within the company and it REALLY SHOWS.
