BAD COMPANY. DANGEROUS, BORDERING ON CRIMINAL CEO.
Pros
Best thing about 360 is that the non-managerial employees are great. There is a survive together mentality where all lower ranked employees band together and share in the struggle against the higher ranked employees. It doesn't sound like a pro, but generally it's fun working like that and the work itself is fulfilling. It's nice to be able to service brands and create content for them. It's nice talking to brand owners and sharing in their success when we do a good job.
Cons
There are really so many things wrong with the company and they generally ALL stem from the CEO and her cronies (upper management). There have been good people who made it to upper management that would stand up to her previously but one by one they left or resigned. It's even worse now that they are gone. Nobody stands up to the CEO. Because it is public knowledge, I will name drop. The CEO of 360 Digital Agency, Kyra Co is the one I am referring to. 1. The CEO personally acknowledged that over two years of government mandatory contributions and income tax have not been paid. There were plans to pay for everything owed to us, but the CEO personally overturned the plans and unilaterally decided not to pay anything. I have about a year and a half of work that I have zero government contributions for. My retirement fund should have started at the age of 22, but instead it is starting at the age of 24. I'm not being a drama queen, but that means she has wasted two years of my life. 2. The CEO, through managers within the company asks us to lie to our clients. When something goes wrong it's always lie lie lie lie. We are told to fake progress and present it. We are told to cram 1 month of work into 3 days then try to pass it off as if we did the work normally. We are told to blame problems that we caused on things outside of our control. We are told to blame employees who quit even if they have nothing to do with the problems. We are instructed to LIE! 3. Our clients don't pay VAT and we don't issue official receipts. I think this is the preference of the CEO because I have a friend in the sales department of 360 Digital and my friend told me that the CEO pushes for the sales to be done without an official receipt so that we can avoid paying VAT. 4. There are many more problems but they're the kind of problems that all companies have so I won't go into detail. It's the usual problems of burn out, working long hours, low pay etc. Like for example I had a 200 work hour month one time, and I was only paid less than PHP25,000 for it. They did not pay for overtime because "there is no overtime in this company, your work should be good for 160 hours per month, if you take longer it's because you are inefficient. The CEO claims to be obssessed with efficiency but actually she just wants to save money so she can waste it on other things. Instead of increasing our salary the CEO wastes money on things like an expensive town hall that honestly could have been done over a call. It was supposed to be the replacement for our team building, but there was no team building in it. It was just people talking and it wasn't fun at all. The CEO also made herself the star of the show even if actually she doesn't do anything for the company anymore. When I was new, she would get clients for us and help out with projects and check up on people to make sure everything is ok, but now all she does is make herself feel good by having calls with the managers and showing that she's the boss and whatever she says will happen. She only thinks whatever she says will happen, it's not true. Some managers say yes to her and then don't do it because they know what she said is stupid and will hurt the company.
