Pros
You can learn a bit if you’re just starting out and willing to teach yourself. The brand name might help on your resume, and there are some creative people around.
Cons
The pay is way below the state average, which makes it nearly impossible to live in the city unless you already have support. Those who can afford to come into the office tend to get paid more and are often favored, even when doing the exact same job. If you bring up concerns about low or unfair pay, you’re met with empty promises—or worse, threats about job security. There aren't official layoffs or performance reviews. If your brand isn't doing well—even if it's because your manager gave you little to no direction—you're still the one who ends up being let go. And when you try to voice these concerns to HR, nothing changes. Eventually, it starts to feel like speaking up only puts a target on your back. The lack of diversity is also noticeable, and there’s a troubling pattern of employees of color—being let go more often, and more quickly, than others.
