BluShark Digital Reviews

Incredibly toxic work culture with questionable managers in place. This isn't the place for creatives and free-thinkers to flourish, you are heavily judged on your love for the company above all else. Employees have been criticized for NOT working past COB, and some managers have unfortunately pressured employees to sacrifice much of their personal lives for the sake of their job (which pays far below industry average). Some managers are inconsistent in the benchmarks they set for employees as well as compensation agreements. Be prepared to record each and every conversation you have with ANYONE in management at this company. Not doing so puts you at risk of managers successfully gaslighting you. Some managers will also ignore you if it's more convenient for them to do so, entirely contradicting the "family" culture they try to instill of the minds of employees. Interviewing? Ask why the turnover rate has been exceedingly higher than industry average for the last 4 years. Sadly, I could say so much more, but I won't. Instead, I will leave you with this: the amazing thing about the DC area is that there are ENDLESS opportunities for Digital Marketing, Content Writing, and Analytics. Please do yourself a favor and look some place else.

You should really look elsewhere if you're considering BluShark. For starters, if you have to get people to write your fake positive Glassdoor reviews because no one at the company has the heart to lie, that's saying something. Another key consideration is the average age here is 25. That means no one, except the CEO who comes in and yells at managers, has extensive professional experience or advanced business degrees to learn from. Not that there's much to learn - in most roles, you’re limited to one or two tasks, which is a hard sell when you begin looking for another job after one week. Additionally, most business decisions are made arbitrarily, without much thought put into the process or the consequences of the action. At a start-up, you expect to be able to have an active role in helping a company grow, and by extension, watch your own skills grow enormously. Instead, this company doesn't utilize its smart, capable people in establishing better processes and actually pushes back or retaliates when you give feedback. The retaliation comes in the form of asking you to work from home if you write a bad review or taking you into the president's office to give you a stern warning that makes you fear for your job security. This immature, ego-driven response works out for the company because they're not exactly trying to maximize efficiency and prove themselves to investors. No, this company is the side hobby of a powerful lawyer who could care less about the individuals who work in his SEO sweatshop. It's honestly hard to say everything I need to say about this company to save you from months of tears at night and groans in the morning. Save yourself by continuing your search. Don't settle for this.
