Pros

Free Costco pizza (YUM!) + Culture + Dogs

Cons

I agree that every positive review here is a lie. The only “positive” facts about this company are the culture and dogs. Don’t be fooled by the fun social content of the employees having a time of their lives. No they do NOT cater lunch EVERY week. Toxic environment. No good benefits. No growth opportunities. No work/life balance. Expect to work overtime and on weekends. Manipulative and cheap. No good leadership skills. Senior management lacks knowledge in the area of social media and strategy. Lack of guidance and resources throughout the company. Salary is not negotiable. Severely underpaid. Awful starting salaries at $35K or less. Raises/Promos are rare (not even close to average and above salaries). Location is unsafe. No parking at the office (it’s only for the sports cars). Residential/Street parking if you are lucky. Multiple people have been followed to their cars by strangers. It’s not safe. Required to inform the company through Slack on every little detail on every action taken throughout the day (Signing in at 9:30am, during lunch, and at 6:30pm). Mandatory to work every minute and every second of the day. Cannot leave on time even if you are ahead of your tasks for the day. If you work overtime, it’s unpaid. They offer to pay for dinner after 8pm at the maximum of $10 or less (tip + tax included). Favoritism. Overworked employees and don’t compensate fairly for their time. Flexibility with working from home and vacation time does not exist. If you are curious of how vacation/sick days work, it will be miscalculated. TERMITES! ANTS! COCKROACHES! Didn’t want to pay for termite control. Employees kept complaining about it, but the owners didn’t care until they had a termite land into their personal space. Racially insensitive and sexist. Does not believe in equal rights between men and women and young vs old. In regards of COVID-19, they did try to resist closing down the office even though an employee was potentially exposed to the virus. As you can already tell, they could care less about anyone but themselves. Working from home is still “optional”. Employees wages were cut by 35% since this pandemic started despite the fact that they have gotten new business and cut business expenses through lay-offs. There is absolutely no HR, so it really does explain a lot as to why there are negative reviews about this company. WARNING: Apply at your own risk. Highly recommend NOT applying here. Don’t work here. Don’t waste your passion, talent, and energy here. They can’t keep up with the now, the new, the future. This industry is growing and they are still behind.

Pros

Great beginner studio for starting artists who want to learn the ins and outs of a post production studio. Catered lunch once a week.

Cons

Often felt pigeon-holed and not much room for growth. Culture can seem very clique-y and toxic. Most employees (especially junior positions) seem severely underpaid.

Pros

Option to work from home

Cons

Many, if not most, of these positive reviews were coerced from sad coworkers in hopes of winning Owner favor. Unfold’s constant loss of clients & talent is the direct effect of the C-Suite's business skills. The Social Department is chaotic & toxic, dramatically worsened by its latest Executive Director hire. Leadership disregards skill, experience, & contributions, opting to hire & promote from a juvenile, insecure catty mindset. They foster a rampant a culture of sexism, and there's no HR to help. Like many, I’ve never felt secure working at Unfold, & their subpar product output is indicative of the glaring toxicity and incompetency trickling from the top. They treat employees as disposable and don’t pay well enough to make any of the aforementioned bearable. Trust your gut; Unfold is beyond ordinary industry sleaze— I’d RUN.
