Pros

Free lunch once a week

Cons

10% of those working at the One Club are happy, the other 90% are stuck and afraid to move on. The CEO (and all upper management) take a very hands off approach, which results in nobody being accountable for anything. If somebody has a problem with you, it is rare that they will address you to your face. There's a real lack of passion and motivation at this company. The majority view it as a job to endure through. If you are freelance, you are unlikely to get respect or even acknowledgment. If you are full time, you can expect folks to talk behind your back. The entire place really operates like a middle school lunch room- with blind, deaf teachers. Think about it. My advice to anyone considering applying or taking a job here is to keep looking. Seriously.

Pros

MacBook, free lunch once per week, location

Cons

1. You Are Expendable Labor • Coordinators exist to be worked then discarded and ignored • $2 "raises" are insulting when executives get luxury budgets • Black staff face daily microaggressions and systemic exclusion 2. COVID Safety? Not a Priority • Actively hid outbreaks during Creative Week • Put staff health at risk for vanity events 3. The Career Graveyard • ZERO promotion opportunities - you'll stagnate for years • No mentorship, no development, just dead ends • Turn over rate is through the roof, several people have quit within the last year. 4. Management Incompetence (upper and lower management) • CEO delegates everything to #2 • Constant disorganization and blame-shifting • Meetings missed, deadlines blown, staff scapegoated • Too arrogant/discriminatory to engage with temporary staff Survival Tips If You're Desperate: ✓ Document every assignment and interaction ✓ Review all pay stubs for "errors" ✓ Never stop job searching -this place goes nowhere and will drop you in a heart beat (they have let go of employees who’ve been there for 10+ years and don’t bat an eye) Final Verdict: A soul-crushing pit where dreams go to die. The only upward mobility you'll find is the exit door.
