Unfortunate Result from Gross Mismanagement - Designer Universal Kids Employee Review

Environment where you get to wear many hats. Communication is better here than anywhere else I've worked. Kindness is in the DNA of the brand so everyone here is unbelievably supportive and good-hearted. Tactical and hands-on approach to research means many of your lunches will be spent learning something interesting!

The network is quick to adapt but the long development timeline for animation means it is always playing catch up with itself.

-The core staff is a friendly and hardworking -You will be expected to juggle a variety of projects -Depending on your perspective this could be a good thing or bad thing but it will definitely teaches you to multitask and work quick

-Universal Kids is fraught with problems. Leadership at director level and above is inept and manipulative. -Transition from Sprout to Universal Kids was heralded within the company as a momentous occasion, but was nothing short of a train wreck. Ratings are tanking -Money is being taken away and good employees are being forced out unfairly treated -Leadership at the company is a comedy of errors. Example is when the company attempted to launch a west coast feed for their Universal Kids debut, the powers that be forgot to have the actual feed turned on. When viewers turned to the channel on the west coast they saw black. Per understanding this lasted all weekend. The launch was an embarrassment for the network and the laughing stock of NBC -Tone deaf management and corrupt senior leadership -Pay is dirt cheap. At previous employers in similar production roles I received up to 30% more salary. At Universal Kids employees are expected to start early and work late. Exceptions made for some managers who check out early and leave work for subordinates who work into night -Toxic environment and misguided leadership has squandered networks chances of success -Increasing amount of employees are planning their exit
