Pros

Pantry, Amicable colleagues (mostly)

Cons

Unbearable, crushing, and unceasing workload. Management totally out of touch with creative work despite running what's notably, a creative agency. Suggestions to implement workflow processes usually implemented without asking for opinions of the executives. Encourages upscaling, more sales without ever increasing headcount, or running through creative team to see if goals are deliverable. Reduces everything to quantifiable data without considering that employees are in fact organic, creatures. One-sided monolithic dictator-style ruling disguised with a thin veil of courtesy. The insane workload in turn causes some colleagues to turn rabid. OT isn't just expected. Promise of work-life balance is a blatant lie. There are instances of staff working overnight. Regularly. Advice to management is taken with disdain. The 'solution" is often redistributing the workload to other colleagues who are themselves so laden with work to the point of incapacity. However, when brought up to management, the issue is swept under the rug faster than you can say the word. The next day, you get another new demand with no addition resources to deal with the pre-existing problem at hand.

Pros

Let me know if there are any

Cons

- Was told on the first day that I needed to post a LinkedIn review about my experience in this company by the end of the week - Staff made up of more interns than full timers - Company running low / close to zero on projects and funds, so staff are tasked to re-do old projects for the sake of it. They also hired too many interns and did not foresee the amount of projects they'd get, resulting in overstaffing. - Not allowed to wear shoes in the office while the floor is carpeted, would feel less gross if it was a hard wood floor for example - Stuck up management, was told off for not knocking the door of the managers before going in the room, when they called me in beforehand. Best part is that the door is made of glass. - Unprofessional management. Plenty of emphasis on punctuality but managers can stroll in late. If you're late then its a big problem. - Team bonding felt forced - Had ants in my workspace on my first day
