Pros

Small company where everyone wears many hats. Gaining new responsibilities is easy. If you excel today you'll have new bigger projects tomorrow. Work is genuinely meaningful -- that's not a slogan. Some projects really change people's lives.

Cons

Chaotic work flow. Many projects of very different nature simultaneously. Complicated work. Expected to be an expert in many fields very quickly.

Thanks for your comments. I am pleased that you valued the opportunity to do a variety of work on meaningful projects. You’re right. In a small business, it is important for everyone to wear multiple hats and, yes, be an expert in many fields. We are thrilled when staff are able to embrace this as an opportunity to stretch and develop new skills while serving the needs of our clients. Our current team is, indeed, managing many different projects and doing a great job. Just this year, they won five AVA Awards and a Communitas Award. I do understand the chaotic workflow comment. We have gone through some growing pains but have spent the last year systematizing our processes so that the workflow was easier for everyone. Many of our team members contributed to building those processes. Their input was invaluable to us since they are the ones doing the work on a daily basis. I am sure future staffers will appreciate this effort as much as we do. Thanks for thinking of us again. I hope you are doing great things as you continue to build your career.

Pros

I need to think real hard about this one.

Cons

Toxic environment and incompetent management. My first assignment as a reporter was to produce a promotional video for this school that was building programs for students with learning difficulties. When interviewing a teenage student, I asked him how he manages to overcome his dyslexia or something like that. The school representant was in the room and apparently, she was offended that I had pronounced the D word. Instead of talking to me about it (after all, isn't it all about education and raising awareness), she complained to my boss. The next morning when coming to work, my boss was furious and yelled at me because I have upseted her precious client. She was not that supportive towards them though when the teachers went on a strike, during which, some video contracts were cancelled or on hold. She was complaining that journalists never stop working -having to read the papers in the morning and watching the news after coming home- so she didn't get why teachers would have the nerve to go on a strike, depriving her precious business of an income. That's why this industry is doing so well right. Burnout-out rates in these sectors are eloquent. At least teachers show more solidarity among them. Not to mention the times where she was watching over my shoulder when editing videos, stressing me beyond belief. They pretend that it's all fun with their stupid Facebook posts where they publish photos of the staff having lunch together or wearing hats for "Hats Day". Yoopi-doo.
