A reluctant 2 star - Motion Designer VMG Studio 520 Employee Review

Dear Reviewer, Thank you for your time and care in giving this review of our company. Feedback from current and previous employees helps us to focus in on what we are doing right, as well as illuminate our potential blind spots. Your praise of our culture is something that we are proud of, and is  often an element that goes unrecognized. In that,  we appreciate your feedback.  VMG works to ensure that our expectations for each team member are well established and clearly communicated. Each person's job duties and work schedule are first agreed upon with the employment offer letter and are frequently revisited as a key part of ongoing staff reviews. In general, our salaried exempt workers are tasked with managing their own schedules. This flexible work environment provides team members with the ability to do things like attend personal appointments as needed or care for their families when life circumstances arise. This also means that staff must account for any time off and/or holidays when scheduling projects or preparing to meet deadlines. Additionally, VMG offers competitive salaries that are above average for these roles as listed on Glassdoor, PayScale, and Indeed. We also provide many benefits beyond what is federally mandated--including 401k, generous paid time off, and more.  VMG highly values the talent and hard work of our staff and always works to mentor and develop team members to their highest potential. Releasing a staff person is never our first course of action, and only occurs when all other options for growth and improvement have been exhausted.  As a small company, many VMG staff have more access to the leadership team and CEO than they would if we were  a larger corporate office. This means that responses to inquiries/issues can come back faster and feel more personal. We have not always been perfect in our communication, but we are always striving to be better. We are working with an HR representative to make sure that we are not just in compliance  but also ensuring our employees feel comfortable giving feedback. In accordance with  Glassdoor policy,  VMG Studios has never posted false reviews nor incentivized  current staff to post on our behalf. We  understand that relationships can be strained when employees are  released,  but  continuously  work to incorporate  any  constructive  feedback  we receive into our policies and procedures.  Thank you again for taking the time to review us, and we wish you the best in your future endeavors.
