Pros

Opportunities for creative work loose and friendly staff

Cons

Toxic CEO, routinely humiliates and abuses management and staff. Incompetent and paranoid approach to expanding the range and reach of the channel. Will blame lower level employees for issues that stem from incompetent managerial staff.

Pros

Great at getting responses back from emails within 10 days

Cons

Poor communication, did not provide a contract (said they would), keep giving work out with tight deadlines but do not respond effectively making it hard to do job. CONTRACTORS/ CONSULTANTS - get or provide a signed contract before you do anything - do not trust these people. They will pass on unpaid work as "internship".

Pros

- Incredible coworkers. Truly the best part of the job. It genuinely feels like a family. - Great place to start a media career and gain exposure to different areas of the industry. - Opportunity to explore multiple roles and learn various sides of production and media operations.

Cons

- Upper management lacks transparency and does not consistently support staff when new challenges come up. - Ideas are not always credited, and accountability can feel one-sided. - Recent years have brought stricter policies around workplace freedoms (e.g., breaks), which had a huge impact in employees morale. - Employees are often encouraged to take on multiple roles, which can feel more like filling staffing gaps than professional development. - Limited long-term growth opportunities. - New ideas are often met with resistance rather than encouragement. - "That's the way it's always been done" mentality.
