Pros

The crew are great and are truly the only thing keeping the company afloat in both the Sydney and Melbourne offices. I would like to say that working for Visual Domain is a good starting point for a career in the media production industry, due to the clients and projects you get to work with/ on. Unfortunately, in reality though, working for Visual Domain has completely turned me off the industry all together!

Cons

The directors are completely self serving and only concerned with generating fast income, at the expense of quality work, client relationships and most importantly... their employees. If you have some skill in generating fast income for the company, whether that be via salesmanship or creative abilities, you may become a favourite of the directors... If you are one of the lucky favourites, the directors will motivate with you with rapidly growing, unreasonable expectations with little monetary reward. Then, as time goes on, the gap between the expectations and monetary incentive simply becomes larger and larger. I've seen even the best creatives and sales reps burn out, develop serious physical and/or mental health problems, alcoholism and permanent destruction of their professional self esteem. If you are not one of the 'favourites' then you can expect extreme micromanagement, harassment, bullying and constant, destructive and manipulative comparisons to the 'favourites'. In turn, I have also seen the same results develop with considerably worse outcomes for those who are not a 'favourites'. On top of being lumped into either of the above categories, there is little to no training or support, as everyone in the business is either so stretched or just simply concerned with protecting themselves... and for good reason. If you embody a 'fake it till you make it' mentality, then this is the company for you! If you are an inexperienced creative or salesperson rather, I strongly suggest that you please reconsider working for Visual Domain Australia. If you are an experienced creative or salesperson, there is no reason what-so-ever that you should even consider working for this company. It will be a complete waste of your time and energy. My experience was utterly soul-destroying.
