Pros

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.

Cons

Don't do a lot of cultural events

Pros

I’ve been with the company for under a year but within that time frame I’ve seen amazing growth as well as some growing pains. These growing pains have been identified and addressed in a reasonable timeframe. I’m always amazed at how many clients and projects Makespace has in its queue at any given time. This kind of client base gives the company and its employees stability that I have not seen much in Louisville while working with other agencies. Change is something that this company is not afraid of as it grows.

Cons

Growing pains are always a struggle for companies and Makespace is no exception. Nothing to be concerned about for anyone looking to join the team.

Pros

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

Cons

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.
