I was a director at bieMEDIA for quite a few years and I quickly realized how parasitic and negative a company it was and still is. It wasn't until I left and reconnected with the real working world that I realized how awful bieMEDIA is to its employees, part time, full-time, and even the contractors. The "at least you are lucky enough to have a job because of us" attitude the CEO and COO present is only the tip of the iceberg. The dismal pay and company policy AGAINST raises, even cost of living increases does in fact force employees to become something of an indentured servant. There are no real hopes for progress or upward mobility but they sure are dangled enticingly close to each poor employee in their cubicles. I would caution anyone with any hopes to further their careers in the arts, video, or digital worlds to strongly look elsewhere as bieMEDIA continues to slip further and further behind the curve. Ask around.
