Vantaggi
-Flexible hours and ability to own your projects -Dogs, but this is also a con sometimes
Svantaggi
-Extremely cliquey. -If you join as an associate, the 6 month time line means nothing. They will pay you basically minimum wage to do full time work and try to convince you to work 40 hrs with no benefits. The 6 months can easily turn into 7 or 10, which sucks when you are only making $10/hr and have an ineffective manager who refuses to tell you whether they want to hire you full time even after acknowledging that their crappy management is what caused your negative performance. What a waste of time. -Gossip everywhere, even amongst managers. NOTHING is confidential -Lack of training and lack of experience managers who are effective trainers. You will be repeatedly and publicly condescended for asking for clarification on new projects. Tons of miscommunication. - Honestly felt like I was much smarter than many of the people that were supposed to be "managing" me, which makes it hard to respect your managers, especially when they don't own up to their mistakes. -The personality types on the media side can be summed up as caricatures of MTV who don't have any depth & have loud conversations about BS like celebrity news & socail media while you are trying concentrate to produce quality work. -Complete Bro/fratty/sorority vibe, at least on the media side -There are dogs running around everywhere and barking frequently. The loud random conversations make it hard to concentrate and there are no side rooms that you can go to for concentration (they only have 3 conference rooms which are almost always booked) -They act as if alcohol should be the highlight of the employee experience (this is coming from someone who actually drinks). They have regular in-office alcohol-fueled events and expect you to go, stay the whole time for "comradery," and then work late to finish the things you could've been doing instead of going to these forced bonding events. -Low pay. I'm making substantially more elsewhere doing much less than what I was doing at RMI
