Pros
My role gave me a lot of free products
Cons
I worked at Are Media as a Digital Content Producer across several brands. Unfortunately, my time there was marked by instability, lack of clear direction, and poor communication from leadership. Despite being part of a hardworking and passionate team, the company struggled to provide long-term security or structured growth opportunities. There was constant uncertainty around roles due to ongoing financial difficulties, with multiple staff redundancies including mine carried out with little transparency or support. While I enjoyed creating content and saw great engagement and results from my work, these efforts always went unacknowledged. Morale was always low across the board, and management was out of touch with day-to-day realities. The work environment felt reactive rather than strategic, and internal systems were often outdated or inefficient, making it hard to do your job effectively. Overall, I left feeling disappointed and disheartened, especially after putting in so much effort during my time there. I wouldn’t recommend Are Media as a place to work at all.
