Pros

Great health plan. They have been more flexible with Work From Home due to covid.

Cons

Wow, so many I could share including detrimental office politics, nepotism, lack of vision, poor leadership, and more, but I'll focus on the $$. SERIOUS lack of compensation. They do not reward hard work, do not reward loyalty, do not reward integrity. They count on you to be comfortable and lazy enough not to apply elsewhere and not to know your own worth. Every single employee could be making 20-50% more if they found new jobs. New hires are offered higher salaries than current employees. Stingy with bonuses and budgets. ***Raises and promotions do not exist.*** Management gives the same answers year after year: "Let's revisit this 'after your review'... 'after the budget comes out'... 'after you prove yourself to us'..." These excuses devalue the loyalty, expertise, and effort employees put in to keep the ship afloat. The movie business is hanging by a thread, and Fathom has not shown the necessary innovation to stay relevant. They skate by on one or two successful events per year and do not reward their employees alongside their overall business successes. The best financial years in Fathom history saw little very little gain for employees. Any positive review listed on Glassdoor has come from temp workers who did not see the full picture or have come directly from leadership/HR themselves.

Pros

Excellent health & benefits, newer office located in DTC.

Cons

Very non-competitive salary and chastised when asking for increases, almost zero room for promotion or advancement in the company as most in director and above positions are "lifers". Many had to take on additional responsibilities due to covid layoffs with zero salary compensation, framed as an "opportunity for growth". Pre-covid working remotely was rarely an option. Constantly feels as if internal teams are working against each other.

Pros

The people in the organization are incredibly welcoming and kind. Leadership is sometimes open to questions and feedback - not often implemented though. The day-to-day is like working in an agency and you’re working in the entertainment industry. Company pays for employees healthcare. 401k matching is great. Office location is not ideal, but the building is great.

Cons

Some employees are extremely unhappy in their positions, which can bring the collective moral down. There are a lot of limitations on growth and advancement in the organization. Compensation is extremely underwhelming. Leadership is out of touch with the day-to-day of the organization. Leaders tend to be know-it-all but do no work micromanagers.
