Colleagues are great but management could do better
Pros
- Most of the colleagues are nice and willing to lend a hand when in need. - You will learn a lot because you pretty much have to figure out everything on your own
Cons
- Gives in to the clients' demands 99.9% of the time be it requests or submission of deadlines so expect to be asked to deliver work by EOD or work over the weekends on extremely last minute requests. - Strong lack of communication between departments and management. Different members receive different information, sometimes none at all and the teams themselves mostly have to pick up the pieces on their own. - Not much support from Management, things tend to get swept under the rug with empty promises and soon forgotten afterwards. - There will always be heavy workload but the problem lies in its delegation and management. There has never been a single low for teams to rest. - SOPs don't exist, it has long since been blown out the window. - If you're a Creative, you will get the shortest end of the stick. You will have to manage workload given from 7 different channels but they will all expect you to complete them within the same timeframe.
