Pros

Central London location A few genuinely kind colleagues

Cons

Repetitive tasks like opening fire exit doors every 2 hours Work was monotonous with no opportunity to develop or feel engaged Extremely high turnover: during just 4 months, the Director of Student Support walked out, the Finance Assistant left without notice, and the remaining Student Support team also left shortly after Management created a culture of micromanagement and distrust — staff felt watched more than supported No social events or effort to build team morale Poor internal communication and lack of leadership transparency Low salary. The amount of people they hire who then quit within a few months speaks for itself.

Pros

Excellent camaraderie, strong team culture and collaboration, excellent communication within the photographic section and with other sections of the Marketing Dept., very inclusive culture, very comfortable and well-equipped work environment, photoshoots are well-planned.

Cons

Syracuse University has a look that it aims to project. It takes some time to learn that look. Deadlines are sometimes too tight, especially if considerable retouching is required. At times, extensive work is shelved, never to really be seen or used. This can be disheartening but needs to be accepted and learned from. The absolute restriction that no alcohol be shown in any photo makes some situations very difficult to photograph.
