A Negative Review for a Negative Experience

Pros

Like any company there are going to be some good people, but the cons section says it all unfortunately.

Cons

This is a poorly run company with rampant nepotism and the mindset of a music label pre-digital era crash. Diddy hires his unprofessional friends and their kids, pays them significantly more than other employees, and gives them titles without merit. Meanwhile, most of the regular staff are temp employees or contractors without benefits and are the first to be let go during routine cuts. Sales execs at this company rarely show up to work and use their company cards for seemingly unlimited personal expenses. There is no mobility and you’re subjected to unpredictable egos and horrific leadership in nearly every department. Stay away from this sinking ship and don't let the Hollywood image Diddy portrays convince you otherwise.

Fake, wack and played. A losing, stale place.

Pros

Too broke to get any office space so it's remote work

Cons

Detavio is a fake about who he is and what he does. Says the same BS over and over and means or does nothing. He's the only guy who REVOLT could afford and does nothing but promote himself. The employees here will never work anywhere else good after this - this is the only place that will tolerate and employ 2nd rate mediocrity. The nearly all white all male sales team only makes money from other company's newly-founded white guilt and being forced to open up their diversity budgets after 2020 otherwise this place would fold. We claim our audience is young but they are boomers. The creative team is so bad, so wack.

Pros

There wan an enthusiasm and excitement during the initial launch that you would think could translate into something extremely innovative. We all thought the ambitious agenda of having the first network that could merge music, social media and activism into one would happen. Wow, we couldn't have been more wrong.

Cons

Let me preface this by saying I've been a producer for over 10 years in this business at a multitude of television networks and production companies, and this one was the absolute worst. As one of the first boots-on-the-ground producers to help build a department infrastructure, I immediately saw huge oversights in the workflow. There was no map, no production guideline, no real plan as to how we would produce / deliver content. You know, things like what are the specs? What music and photos we do have clearance to use? How do we ingest? What are the import and delivery specs? Plus, what about copy approval, troubleshooting, editing, rendering, exporting, approvals, etc. None of this was spelled out - and we were just days from launch, and the situation only worsened in the weeks to come. I offered real, practical solutions and was only shot down and reprimanded for trying to help. I was equally as dumbfounded as how so-called execs signed off on this 'delivery system' and didn't realize the glaring oversights that made this all next-to-impossible to pull off. Many of them didn't last and as the staff left, so did the small amount of viewership. But here's what most troubling: This place has manipulated it's social media following, saying it has nearly 250K followers on some platforms, when in reality, those followers are paid. You can tell by the EXTREMELY low level of engagement and retention, which comes out to less than .0002% in some cases. Why? I can only imagine it was used to manipulate their ad sales, allowing them to say, "Look how many people follow us on ... ", when in reality, they don't have the followers (or viewers) to back up those claims. But they got the cash, and the people at the top have kept it to themselves and are riding it out 'til the very end.
