Digital Media Management Reviews

They don't pay many employees for the first few months and call it an "internship." The management are 2 of the cruelest, most self-centered people I've ever run across in the industry. They will do absolutely anything for a glimmer of fame. You're worked all hours with no support whatsoever. You're a one man band and you will never be rewarded for the hard work you put in, in fact you'll more likely be criticized for not doing more. They pay way under the industry average, because they take advantage of people with no experience. It shows in their work. Most studios only work with them for projects they have next to no budget for.

-They higher young. Really young. Fresh out of college kids who have never worked anywhere before but because they had an internship at a big studio one summer they might be worthwhile. Those kids with no relevant skills or experience then get very entitled and expect a promotion every few months which can lead to a hostile workplace. -Because they hire young, they pay cheap. Younger kids don't know the going rate in the industry. It's very hard to get a raise and when you ask for one you must jump through a thousand hurdles to even be considered. -These millennials also lack common sense. They vape in the office repeatedly despite laws against it, request vacation days with little to no notice, work from home but then are never available online. -The company claims to be diverse but it's really only toward the LGBTQ community. People of color are often hired to show diversity but the company doesn't know how to talk about racial issues. How many times do you need to be told to stop talking about a black girl's hair? Offensive comments toward other people are usually swept under the rug. Repeat offenders have been working their for years without punishment. -There's no real way to measure how good someone is at their job. People get promoted if they worked on one big campaign and did an OK job at it, but others stay stuck in their roles for years because they never had the chance to even prove they can work on big-name titles. -Managers receive no proper training until they're a year into their new roles already. It's like the blind leading the blind. -Poor benefits. Good luck if you ever get pregnant or seriously injured. -Very one-sided when it comes to political issues, which shouldn't be in the workplace to begin with. If someone discusses a controversial issue, they are subject to ridicule and judgement that management does nothing to absolve. -Work life balance doesn't exist if you work on the entertainment team. You are expected to work the hours you clients work. The problem isn't even that, it's that these young employees don't realize what the industry is really like and because they complain louder, supervisors are left to pick up their immense slack.
