Vantaggi
Some of the projects were positively life-changing for the young people involved; these were a joy to be part of. Plenty of variety within the workload. Multi-talented and dedicated (and lovely) creative team and admin staff.
Svantaggi
Shambolic, uncommunicative management. Unnecessarily harsh, often caustic, feedback from management with obscure and arbitrary suggestions for improvement. Poor levels of pay that were inconsistent within and across departments. Rock-bottom staff morale (still the case, I’m told). High staff turn over. Upper management being hired then leaving abruptly. Unrealistic expectations placed on creative producers, especially after cutbacks and the recent redundancies.
