Missing Piece Group Reviews

"Entry level" positions include responsibilities and skills far outside of an entry level, and their entry level salary is 28k - an absurdly low amount even for the music industry. Lack of gender, ethnic/race and background diversity. Most employees have been there since interning and since this is the only job they've had in the industry, they are complacent with being underpaid, under-appreciated and over-worked. This creates an environment where new additions to the team can feel like they need to push themselves in ways outside of their pay grade/work hours/capacity. Often lacking training, direction and organization, especially from leadership. Many things need to be learned through experience or other coworkers- meaning a lot of uncertainty and confusion that requires a lot of independent research. If a job is labeled as entry level, that means skills need to be properly taught and nurtured at that position - otherwise, that employee should be compensated more. Many employees are taking on administrative tasks that should be handled by an office manager and are not being paid accordingly. Interns are unpaid and often work past the period where they are earning college credit for their work, in hopes that by working for free and being a good sport they can transition into a career with the company. Too much pressure is put on junior level employees to bring in new business, while few opportunities to properly network are offered. There is often an aggressive attitude around this that is unfair and uncomfortable. Many problems with the work culture here could be solved if there was an HR representative.

Long hours that left little time for a social life after the commute, little pay, often hard to please the boss
