Pros

Award-winning video professionals. Veterans of a constantly-evolving web/social media industry. Innovative software developers. Strategic thinkers with valuable experience building successful businesses. The Splash Media team is the perfect mix of technology and creativity; marketers who got in on the ground floor of the digital revolution, television producers/directors who blazed a trail in corporate communications and training, and social media specialists with stellar resumes as branding and content experts.

Cons

Splash Media is great place to learn about video production and it's business structure. I worked in the telecommunications department and handled phone sales. My supervisor was a GREAT coach and awarded us for a successful day. Although, I had knowledge of social media in which surpassed most of the management staff, I was promised a position with the new company developing which is their new business model. I was "let go" due to my call volume, yet I convinced many companies that social media was the new word of mouth marketing. I also even helped with script writing. In the humble beginnings of the new structure they really didn't listen to their employees and I was let go just because of call volume when I had a vast tool set of potential and knowledge which they promised yet didn't deliver.

UPDATE: Splash Media was bought by our awesome and charismatic CEO in 2013. Today's Splash is a Top Agency in Dallas, and does award-winning work around the globe. We benchmark our pay and benefits and are similar to other firms our size. Our point of differentiation is our people, and we work hard to make a fun and collaborative culture. We are a different agency than all the reviews prior to 2013. Check us out!

Pros

1: The people you work with - By this I mean the people you sit next to, NOT management 2: You will learn a lot, but this comes with being overwhelmed if you aren't good at managing your time

Cons

1: Your position in the company is mainly affected by how much the upper management likes you. You can work your butt off, but never receive acknowledgement/promotions/raises unless you suck up. 2: Management blatantly favors employees. Some employees can come and go as they please, not be productive and pawn off any work they can without ever getting talked to, but others would definitely get talked to. 3: Lack of benefits. They pay for half of your health insurance if you choose to sign up, but you are better off getting outside coverage seeing as it is WAY cheaper. 4: Get everything you can in writing. They are good at not following through with promises.
