Marketing Manager Reviews
What is it like working as a Marketing Manager?
March 2016
Working at Target.
Marketing Manager:
Pros: I am given a great deal of responsibility and own a large project scope. I have the ability to research trainings, conferences and networking opportunities to further my growth and development. My Manager is completely supportive of my growth and helps me achieve my goals.
Cons: Passive/aggressive corporate culture. Leaders talk the talk but do not always walk the walk. High stress environment with minimal recognition/reward for accomplishing difficult tasks above skill level.
March 2016
Embrace Change.
Marketing Manager:
Large corporations, particularly in IT, are moving quickly to a more efficient, more automated, more cost-effective business model wherever possible. This results in frequent changes to the organization. Embrace change as a constant. Plan for various scenarios with and for your team. Be positive. Be a leader - or you will get left behind.
March 2016
Be a strong woman and stand up!
Marketing Manager:
Have integrity at all times.
February 2016
Start at a large organisation.
Marketing Manager:
Start at larger organisation which promotes career development. Become a specialist in an area in the field of Marketing and climb the ladder within the organisation.
Small medium businesses (SMB) forces you to wear multiple hats and become a generalist in your field and if you stay there for too long, you become so snowed under with work you forget about personal development.
If you do start out in an SMB, stay and get your 2 years experience and remember to move on.
February 2016
Attention to detail & "upward" manage.
Marketing Manager:
Best skill you can have is attention to detail - like no other person in your team or organisation. People value this.
Also learn to upward manage I.e. Manage your boss - makes your life easier and theirs too!
February 2016
Not very happy no work flexibility stress not enough perks.
Marketing Manager:
Pros: Meeting new people.
Cons: Long commute.
January 2016
Casino industry 2016.
Marketing Manager:
Pros: Working with a progressive casino CEO, to develop new and exciting promotion to drive revenue.
Cons: Working for a tribally owned business is hard. You have to deal with tribally board of directors, which non have any idea on how to run a multi million dollar business, but they all think they do.
