Novus Media Compensation Employee Reviews
All
Positive
Constructive
What is the best part about your compensation package?
The best part is time off.
Review from Marketing Dept
The 401k match is generous as is the PTO that I negotiated for. As an independent agency, I'd like to see the possibility of a quarterly or annual bonus considered.
Review from Marketing Dept
vacation policy - lots of time off
Healthcare Spending Account. It is important to have this as alot of things are not fully covered or do not fall under traditional benefits.
Review from Marketing Dept
The PTO is the best part of our compensation package.
Review from Operations Dept
The PTO and flexibility (within my team, I cannot speak for all depts about positive job flexibility)
Review from Marketing Dept
Lots of extra days off (vacation + personal days + sick days + summer days + lots of holidays and "special" days off). And the healthcare plan is exceptional at a nominal cost. Also appreciate that NOVUS picks up short/long-term disability.
the holiday and time off offerings paired with the medical/dental etc. benefit coverage and pricing
Review from Finance Dept
I think that Novus pays fairly, I love that they throw in bonus Holiday days off here and there.
The time off that is provided to us
Review from Operations Dept
I feel like I have been elevated and compensated appropriately as my skill set and opportunities have risen, rather then not being provided compensation when a big win or advancement occurs
Review from Marketing Dept
Receiving extra days off around holidays
Review from Finance Dept
The holiday schedule is generous and sets NOVUS apart.
Freedom to put the need of my family first.
Review from Finance Dept
I love the amount of PTO that I have available to me, making it so that I don't hit a "burnout" point. I am able to have a good work/life balance.
Review from Marketing Dept
PTO is great and great benefits
Review from Marketing Dept
vacation; we typically have more days than we can use
Review from Finance Dept
The vacation days, they offer more than the average companies.
Review from Operations Dept
Time off i get to use
Review from Marketing Dept
Comp and benefits package overall
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
My salary is low compared to the industry standard and after talking to others within the company about their salaries I know that I am being underpaid even within the company.
Review from Marketing Dept
i do not feel undervalued at all but i know that compensation could be better
Review from Operations Dept
Over time, it has become obvious that a promotion is not likely. Despite my skills and potential. Getting a higher merit increase.
Review from Customer Success Dept
No credit is ever given to those grinding out the low level work no one wants. A pat on the back after a long, stressful week doesn't go very far.
Review from Operations Dept
pay is lacking, retention is hard when people leave bc of burnout, and positions are not backfilled. it creates a cycle that leads to more burn out and more people leaving.
Review from Operations Dept
I feel like my compensation needs to be better aligned to the industry. It also needs to better reflect how long I have been here and how much value I bring to the team.
Review from Customer Success Dept
Workload is too high requiring too many extra hours. Pay would be fair for a 40 hour work week.
Review from Operations Dept
Lower than industry standard for position; involved in much more outside of job description as well
Review from Operations Dept
We consistently are taking on more work and responsibilities for the same pay. Novus blames covid for this, but this has been happening even BEFORE covid started. Higher ups don't care to get to know lower level employees or appreciate us. Novus needs to give better raises and reward the achievers.
Review from Operations Dept
I don't feel undervalued as a person. Novus is generous with words of praise and gratitude. But Novus is a smaller agency - people here could make $10-$20k more a year in the same role at a larger company.
At the last merit I received a minimal (below average) raise, despite a good year. Shortly after my workload increased to what I'd call risky, A cost-of-living increase (at minimum) would help. A more manageable workload would also help.
Review from Operations Dept
I don't think that our salaries are as competitive as they should be.
Review from Operations Dept
Showing employees their salary range for their position will help understand where they are in comparison to the total range and what they can work towards.
Review from Customer Success Dept
My current salary is barely meeting the industry wide standard.
Review from Marketing Dept
Higher base salary. Committed bonus based on objectives written at the start of the year.
Expectation for working after hours to meet an unrealistic deadline with salary compensation close but still not at an average of other similar titles.
Review from Customer Success Dept
Acknowledgement of overtime, compensation for overtime, "extras, bonus days off, gifts, other"
Review from Marketing Dept
I feel with the downsizing due to recent events and increased work and responsibilities we should be be compensated a little more.
Review from Operations Dept
Workload is getting too heavy with people leaving and then leaving their positions unfilled
