Pros
Some great members of staff who will go on to far better things.
Cons
Very high staff turnover for a small company. Founders can be incredibly difficult, manipulative and hostile, don’t encourage staff to succeed. No HR in place, seemingly random firings and staff disappearing are not unheard of. The company is ran like a startup after almost a decade of existence. Wages offensively low, a decade behind the rest of the industry, raises and bonuses out of the question. Internal perception of clients is dismissive and disrespectful, owners perceive themselves to be better than all. Creative work is uninspiring and often repeated from past projects, quantity is far more important than quality and innovation is not encouraged. Creative director would not come close to having the same role elsewhere, staff constantly having to tiptoe around him due to fear of conflict. Diversity not important, minorities and working class staff often don’t stay long through no fault of their own and hiring process has clear preference towards the privately educated.
