Vantaggi
Good question... never worked after hours?
Svantaggi
* Didn’t pay national legal minimum wage * No contract . Working conditions change as they please. * London studio forsaken by NY. * Unhygienic working conditions, studio not prepared for either heat or cold. No insulation, air con or heater: it’s a sauna in summertime and absolutely freezing in winter. * Poor, unprofessional management. Always blaming everyone else, never taking responsibility for their actions. * Poor communication - terrible administration skills. * Senior staff extremely paranoid * Be aware if you work here you will be a self employed person with no benefits (even if you’re working 5 days/40 hours a week), but without the autonomy a freelancer should have. Massive double standards. You’ll have the obligations of an employee and the benefits of freelancer. * Keep a log of all holiday as they will try and get out of paying you sick and holiday. * Terrible basic rate of pay and commission very unclear. Rules keep changing. * Be aware if you hand your notice in you might be told to leave that day. Manager takes everything personally and holds a grudge against everyone that left. * PRINT PRISON * Friendships at work not encouraged. Manager is always paranoid people are talking about her. * Confidence slowly knocked out of you, as sales team is notoriously bad at selling (according to Tom himself) and the blame falls always on the designers. No respect. * No holidays or sick days at all for 6 months * Commission on a sliding scale and flat rate * Didn’t keep their word to what was promised on the job offer * Change the rules as they go, and the lack of contract makes it impossible to make them accountable * Not transparent about the future work conditions when hiring * Salaries really really low * Absolute lack of transparency. Constant feeling that something really dodgy is going on.
