Pros

Colleagues (not management) we're kind and supportive.

Cons

As the title of this review states, the reviews for The Media Image are not representative of the entire company (maybe 1 or 2 of the favourites), but since TMI forced all its employee's to leave positive untruthful reviews when it received a few bad reviews, I felt compelled to share my experience. There is a deep-rooted culture of bullying at The Media Image where inappropriate remarks (often sexist) are the norm. During my 2 years here, many colleagues raised issues with "HR" (I put HR in parentheses as there was no actual procedure when issues were raised, other then to blame colleagues for their own mistreatment), and nothing was done. Colleagues are expected to work beyond their 9-6 working hours, and to give up any kind of personal life. This, combined with the extremely low salaries, means the company has a quick turnover of staff (which they deny). The Media Image employs many graduates straight out of university, but fail to give any training or support, which was tough for me as a more experienced colleague to witness and often meant myself and others had to train them. My experience is not an isolated one, but one widely shared, you only have to look at the real reviews, not the ones TMI forced its colleagues to write, to see that. I was lucky enough to keep my head down, and survive my time here and move on without any major issues. But I would advice anyone not to work here. It is an unprofessional and unhealthy work environment.
