Pros

TRAINOR provides company laptops to all employees, and everyone uses the same brand. Previous employees of TRAINOR have gone on to do great work.

Cons

The management staff wants to hear feedback but cannot handle changes well. I expressed my feedback to management before leaving. The work-from-home policy worked out of trust, and trust issues within the company made working from home difficult. I was unaware that there is only a New Hartford office for regular employees when interviewing. It was challenging to complete work with mandatory distractions in the office, and I often spent more time outside of my designated hours working. As someone who finished their work promptly, the micromanagement was not a sign of dedication but a warning sign of not trusting employees. I was dissatisfied with the mentality of gaining knowledge over a higher paycheck. I would have preferred a pay increase over some of the additional perks provided. During my time, multiple employees quit, which made for a stressful environment and lots of extra work. While marketing is fast-paced, work-life balance was important to me, and I did not feel it was as valued by the company leaders. I put in the extra time and effort and did not feel my work was recognized. The environment aligned with my work style, but I did not feel the work hard, play harder mentality aligned with all of management.

Pros

Started as a web developer right out of college and was happy to find a place that offered numerous opportunities to gain real-life work experience. Enjoyed the freedom to explore new technologies and apply them to projects. Worked with many talented designers and developers and learned a lot of valuable skills.

Cons

Working across multiple client projects at the same time can be demanding, but thankfully the project managers and senior developers are always able to offer help and solutions.

Pros

Updated office space and utilization of good laptops.

Cons

I had the unfortunate experience of working at Trainor Associates, and I can confidently say it was a toxic and unprofessional environment from start to finish. While the work itself could have been interesting, the overall experience was marred by poor management, a lack of support, and an overwhelming sense of negativity that permeated the entire company. The biggest issue here is the management. They seemed more interested in micromanaging and creating an atmosphere of fear rather than fostering creativity or growth. Communication was consistently poor, and any attempts to bring up concerns were met with defensiveness or complete dismissal. It's clear that leadership lacks basic managerial skills and an understanding of how to build a healthy, collaborative workplace. To make matters worse, the pay was significantly below industry standards. Despite the demanding workload and high expectations, compensation was far from fair. Employees are expected to take on multiple roles without any recognition or proper compensation, leading to burnout and frustration. The promise of growth or advancement within the company feels more like a hollow promise than a reality. Overall, working here was an incredibly disappointing experience. The toxic atmosphere, coupled with poor pay and management, makes it impossible to recommend this agency to anyone seeking a positive work environment or fair compensation. If you value your mental health, career growth, and fair treatment, I’d suggest looking elsewhere.
