Pros
MacBook, free lunch once per week, location
Cons
1. You Are Expendable Labor
• Coordinators exist to be worked then discarded and ignored
• $2 "raises" are insulting when executives get luxury budgets
• Black staff face daily microaggressions and systemic exclusion
2. COVID Safety? Not a Priority
• Actively hid outbreaks during Creative Week
• Put staff health at risk for vanity events
3. The Career Graveyard
• ZERO promotion opportunities - you'll stagnate for years
• No mentorship, no development, just dead ends
• Turn over rate is through the roof, several people have quit within the last year.
4. Management Incompetence (upper and lower management)
• CEO delegates everything to #2
• Constant disorganization and blame-shifting
• Meetings missed, deadlines blown, staff scapegoated
• Too arrogant/discriminatory to engage with temporary staff
Survival Tips If You're Desperate:
✓ Document every assignment and interaction
✓ Review all pay stubs for "errors"
✓ Never stop job searching -this place goes nowhere and will drop you in a heart beat (they have let go of employees who’ve been there for 10+ years and don’t bat an eye)
Final Verdict:
A soul-crushing pit where dreams go to die. The only upward mobility you'll find is the exit door.
