Progressive Agency - Anonymous employee Makespace! Employee Review

I spent a few years with Makespace (yes I'm a woman) and was always treated with respect and was promoted through the company. Management and the team is focused on clients first but the team is like family to eachother. The work is amazing and I kinda regret leaving now that I see agency life from another office.

Don't do a lot of cultural events

Fair pay and decent benefits. Videographer, designer and developer were all great to work with.

Very little training was actually offered despite the CEO being extremely adamant about the ramp up being 3-6 months before projects would be fully handed over to a new PM. I was fired right before my 90 days without warning (in public), without any chance to try and improve or request more proper training or improvement plan. Be aware that the creative director is extremely sexist and misogynistic. There is no accountability there at all. He would not answer my calls or respond to texts. Would never update the tracking software or complete requests, causing projects to fall far behind. The CEO and creative director are also in a relationship, which was not disclosed before I made my decision to take their offer of employment. If I had known that I would not have joined the company that unceremoniously dumped me in Q4 saying it was a favor to me to find a more corporate oriented job. No one is hiring in Q4, it was cruel.
