Pros
Great relationships were made with coworkers while you worked there. They act like they don’t know you after you don’t work together anymore but it is what it is. Coffee was good Artists except for the head artist who hated everyone especially if you were different , were SO talented. You had access to all kinds of school supplies to get your work done.
Cons
Grossly negligent in diversity. Period. So the equity and inclusion piece is a definite miss. You are not paid what you’re worth and when you think stepping in tho take on projects to help the team while simultaneously doing your job. (Quite well might I add) gets you nothing but middle and upper management worried that you’re not getting your work done when all the while you’re getting your work done and some of theirs. The CEO is woefully disrespectful and tactless in what he says to people. Specifically people of color. I was once asked “what someone like who’s from the hood know about eating a medium rare steak. I should have known then that there would be major problems. Politicians were paraded in and out of the office while we tried to work and it was difficult to keep focus at times. Diversity and inclusion is pretty much non existent bc when the senior management doesn’t believe in it, how will real change happen? One of my colleagues at the time was called volatile and hard to get along with by a member of senior management. That colleague was never the same. Senior and middle management stressed the open door policy but the funny thing about the open door policy…is the door needs to be open both literally and figuratively. And there’s much to be said when the majority of the employees don’t fill out the company services. Is it because they are scared, or they’ve been encouraged not to share their true feelings, or have they been threatened. Guess we will never know. The company is no longer its own entity it seems so that answers the w Yes toon about where they will be in 6 months. I’m thinking obsolete. And that’s unfortunate. The amount of workplace trauma, toxicity, hatred for mankind, overt and covert racism, bigotry and mysoginy was unbelievable and gut wrenching. Management is very concerned with making sure you know they are in charge and they will protect their own. However when some of your own are being fired on the spot they are nowhere to be found.
