Senior Marketing Manager Reviews
What is it like working as a Senior Marketing Manager?
June 2020
Great employer but disorganized.
Senior Marketing Manager in Portland:
Pros: I am given a lot of freedom in my role, and I can perform my job functions without micromanagement. I also have excellent benefits and an excellent manager.
Cons: The company recently went through a major re-organization and the marketing department has been in a state of disarray and disorganization ever since. The result is a frustrating work environment without a sufficient communication, direction, or vision.
June 2020
Great Place to Start a Career.
Senior Marketing Manager in St. Louis:
Pros: In St. Louis, especially in marketing and advertising, it's a great place to start a career. There are all kinds of startups from all industries.
Cons: As in any major city, there is always a crime element and you also have to pay a city tax to work downtown.
March 2020
Exceptionally fast paced workplace.

Am happy to be in Boise.
Senior Marketing Manager in Boise:
Pros: Easy commute
Cons: Traveling internationally, it isn’t easy to get out of the country
February 2020
Exhausting.
Senior Marketing Manager in Seattle:
Pros: The ability to learn everyday, be challenged everyday, and know that I am supporting an amazing team of healthcare providers and physicians who truly strive to do the right thing for patients during a time when it's becoming increasingly difficult (financially and resource-wise/political climate/reimbursements) to do the right thing first and foremost, when it can be, financially, not the most viable option.
I also very much enjoy the actual work I do. This role allows me to have a wide scope and breadth from crisis communication and PR, to being the creative in lead of ad artwork and coming up with campaign concepts, to having a seat at the table when it comes to developing business strategy and growth in the organization.
Cons: The bureaucracy and politics involved on a daily basis between senior leaders and the board is unmanageable. To say my team and I walk on eggshells is an understatment, and you can't trust anyone, as everyone has their own agenda. There are also stagnant people in both middle and senior level positions that do not contribute in the way that they should for their title. Also, huge disparency in expectations. I am expected to basically be on call for anything, anytime, whereas others with higher paygrade and titles than I, are allowed to ignore things and have better work/life balance. My team is regularly taken advantage of and given assignments based on a senior leader's whim (sometimes that should not even fall in our scope of Markeing, PR and communications), even when we very clearly and honestly do not have the time and people resources to complete it. Constantly reprioritizing, sometimes for very fruitless results.
February 2020
A lot of opportunity to learn but system need to be improved.
Senior Marketing Manager in Bangkok:
Pros: Since there is no fix way of doing thing so its good to learn and explore new idea
Cons: Too loose in communication and sharing information
