Fun Job but not sustainable - Videographer/Editor FPW Media Employee Review

-Tremendous opportunity for career growth -Extremely creative and talented coworkers -Huge variety to day to day work, keeps things interesting and fresh -Company is always striving to grow and bring on new products and services

-Young company that is still trying to work out the kinks in process and management -Have to be comfortable trying and failing as you and the company try new things -Not a cushy, established, Fortune-500 job. You will work hard and may not make absolute top-dollar, but this is a great investment in your career

C-suite members hire very well and the broader team is full of legit pros in their fields. Would be a great place to work if all upper management was replaced with seasoned, experienced professionals in the creative industry with actual technical backgrounds.

The main issue is at the very top. C-suite members do not listen to the talent they hire, who are the experts in their field. There is a concerted effort to go against the grain (ie. industry standard) to serve the meaningless and confusing "unagency" ideology the c-suite members have been clinging to since the beginning of the company. Because the founders are "self-taught", the lack of institutional and technical knowledge at the decision-making level makes for a misguided and haphazard approach to fairly simple creative projects. The leadership is not team-first (no empathy towards internal team), which leads to resentment and extremely high turnover.
