The WORST company/managers I have ever worked for. - Anonymous employee Beautiful Digital Employee Review

Kind coworkers, entry into the industry (put a pin in this one)

Oh my God, where even to start here. Absolutely horrible. All of my nightmares during my time at Beautiful Digital were work-related. My entire nervous system heaved a sigh of relief once I was finally able to delete mountains of WhatsApp chats and accounts from my device. I was stuck with such a massive caseload on my own personal device that I literally couldn't be free of the poltergeists that were these client accounts until I bought an entirely new phone since I basically had to brute-force break these apps just to manage them all. Sometimes my apps still glitch out and apparitions of past clients who have already parted ways with this company will briefly reappear on my login screens like a flare-up of illness. Another review describes J&T as people more than happy to exploit their staff for being young and hungry, and this definitely summarizes their ideal hire: naive enough to their dishonest business practices to be taken advantage of at literally every turn possible. It’s a sweatshop with the great "benefit" of remote work, so you can cry from exhaustion in the comfort of your own home. Yay! You will not be protected from crass and abrasive clients that want you to post for them at 10pm on a Friday. You will not be able to protect your own clients with whom you establish positive working relationships with from the inevitable havoc J&T will wreak upon them by not being able to meet the most reasonable needs--because they're too busy disagreeing on which clients you should even be prioritizing (hint: the ones that pay them more). Your coworkers will be the only bright spot in this smog cloud of a workplace, which is why the best thing you can hope for them is that they'll one day leave. Advice for prospective clients: I cannot imagine J&T's absolutely shameless levels of schmoozing are working on everyone, but just in case: Do not fall for their schmoozing. The AM they assign to you is daydreaming during your weekly call of getting out of this industry entirely. I would never entrust this company with my image and materials because they conduct their business with the same levels of transparency and integrity of a handbag peddler on Canal Street. Advice for prospective workers: RUN. DO NOT MAKE MY MISTAKE AND IGNORE THE GLASSDOOR REVIEWS. Find entry-level work elsewhere.

All staff below Director level is and always was the best part of this company.

If you want to be called ‘rude and unkind’; if you want to be gaslit into thinking the expectations of this company are at all reasonable and normal; if you want to not be paid what you’re worth - this place is for you. Tom Peacock and James Quinn, founders of Beautiful Digital, do not deserve to have their own company or be managers of staff. They may have the drive to attempt to build a business, but they certainly don’t have the people skills or have even one empathetic bone in their respective bodies to be remotely decent managers. It might help if they communicated, but they don’t even like each other so really what can you expect. Staff time and again have volunteer that they are "the worst part of Beautiful Digital". They view people as machines, and will prop you up with toxic positivity and "encourage" you, pushing past your boundaries when you’re already maxed out on bandwidth and past the point of burn out. They don’t listen to the needs of their staff, barely support implementing morale boosting activities, and being a member of senior staff just means you get to be the person blamed when things go wrong (because obviously the client can never be wrong even when they are). They take advantage of being young and hungry, and will happily never take the blame even when it’s their fault. You will learn stress, pain and heartbreak, and continuously wonder why you voluntarily put yourself in this situation. The pay doesn’t even cover the bare minimum, and there are virtually no benefits. Everyone is miserable because there aren’t resources in order to properly function, and then the accounts team is blamed for the company’s inefficiencies time and time again. As a result, it’s a revolving door of staff and clients. I wish I could post screenshots of the toxic environment that is Beautiful Digital because of the founders of the company. The founders are unfortunately involved in day-to-day operations, so there’s no escaping their hot headed, aggressive tempers, and you truly never know when the bomb will go off. This company is NOT worth the heartache.
