Pros

Snacks and coffee in the office

Cons

This was genuinely the most toxic work environment I ever worked in. There is no structure, benefits, or growth. Management is so manipulative and only cares about status and personal gain. When I say this job was such a joke, I really mean it. There's no strategy or research behind anything at this company. It's all up to Jahna and her "vision" Pays for Instagram followers Has no strategy for social media accounts Doesn't care about employee's concerns No background for marketing

Pros

Projects can be challenging but owner and long standing staff have the same goals which is client satisfaction. I would have stayed if outside factors didn’t play a role in me having to relocate.

Cons

Needs fluctuation and temporary employees seem to have a harder time getting their projects done well. There is also a strange expectation for a small company to have immense training programs, versus team members just being frank and honest about their skills from the jump. It’s an interesting dynamic - most agencies outsource everything and this is one of the rare ones who holds it all in house. A diamond for sure. Reading the other reviews have been really off putting and I’m surprised at the negative opinions.

Pros

Coffee, Lunch, a Hybrid Work Schedule,

Cons

- No apology after 10 hours was “forgotten” from my timesheet. - No mileage reimbursement when asking minimum wage employees to drive 1+ hours. - A constant “Better-Cheaper-Faster” mentality - Rare actionable constructive feedback - Vague pre-production direction, with high expectations for results. - As an entry level employee, (first job out of college) getting paid $21 an hour, I was made to feel like an idiot when I didn’t produce Gucci level content for makeup brands. - Constant passive aggressive, or straight up rude communication from CEO with employees. Overall the stress, pressure, and toxic environment in this office is not worthwhile. When you interview, or first walk into the office everything will look fantastic, however, very quickly you will realize this position is too good to be true.
