Blue Laser Digital Reviews

As other reviews have stated, this place is not an enjoyable work experience at all. Leadership: none. Management is a better word, and even that is a stretch. If your goal is to grow and learn, you will not find that here. The management has 0 experience in digital marketing or web design. When trying to get your job done, you will find yourself moving backwards because the constant roadblocks of incompetence that are in your way. Culture: If being demeaned, yelled at, and made to feel like just a number, this is the place for you. They will preach values and culture, but the phrase "show not tell" does not apply to them. Saying you value your people and actually showing it are 2 VERY different things. It is very quickly evident that the owners treat this business as their play thing and have no problem making people feel like they don't matter. Compensation: you will most likely be brought in under your market value, with the promise of advancement. This will not happen. Even though the company is growing, the employees that are actually making it grow will not see a dime. On MULTIPLE occasions, loyal employees asked for deserved raises, only to be told to their faces to go get another job offer to prove they are worth the raise they are asking for. Advancement: you will have 0 room for growth. Instead of promoting within, they hire from the outside and most times, you will have no idea of openings. It's not a good sign when the people producing actual work are outnumbered heavily by people that sit around and "strategize" that aren't actually good at it.

At first, it seems like that fun, young, and, more importantly, growing agency you were excited to work for. The website is fun, people laugh with you during the interview, and the space is cool. You will probably choose not to notice the flying red flags that will come up during your interview or even first couple of months. However, there are many. Advancement: There is no growth opportunity. I repeat NO growth. Well, at least for you as a specialist: both from a skill advancement and compensation standpoint. Sure, they like to talk about “ground floor” work (that keeps the company afloat), but you will be treated accordingly- like someone who does ‘ground floor’ work aka dirt. Benefits: Health insurance is offered, but coverage leaves a lot to be desired. They use an out-of-state insurance provider, and practically zero medical offices recognize its name. So you are stuck running around in circles trying to find out whether your visit or procedure is covered. Moreover, there is no 401k or any other benefits offered. Company culture: Communication between management and production team is non-existent. There is a lot of talk about ‘collaboration’ and ‘team effort,’ but in reality, there is no collaboration or team effort coming from management and sales. The production team is frequently flying blind and has very scarce information about clients and the overall company standing and plans for the future. Leadership: ‘management’ is a better word. There is no leading by example unless you are an avid golfer and traveler. Then there are tons of good examples. Compensation: It's lower than the market average, especially if we are talking 5-7 years of experience and beyond. Moreover, there are no annual reviews or raises. If you ask for one, be prepared to fight an uphill battle. They might suggest you go and get offers from other companies to prove that you are worth more money. This happened before, most likely will happen again. Overall not a great place to be.
