Pros

Matching 401k Salary & benefits

Cons

The previous negative reviews on here are very accurate. I'm not sure why the owner has not done anything to correct these issues. -The management team here is awful. They talk down to art directors, are extremely unorganized and have no creative vision. -There is a major lack of communication throughout the entire company. -There is no company structure. -The production team is stuck in their ways and not open to adapting. -The management team that is supposed to be helping make the company run smoother has only made it worse. They seem to only care about having power and control rather than creating amazing work and a fun place to be. -There is more gossip and backstabbing here than high school. -The owner is never around and when she is, she seems like she has no idea what is really happening to her company. -If you are a junior art director, expect to only work on packaging and adapting other agencies work. You will not do your own creative for 1-2 years.

Pros

This workplace offers 100% remote and have daily virtual meetings. If you enjoy working from home, you are in the right place. People are friendly and the company has a nice culture overall.

Cons

Work can sometimes be a bit intense, but given the personality/nature of entertainment field, it's understandable.

Pros

One of the standout aspects of the company was its remote work structure, which offered flexibility and trust, allowing me to manage billing, accounts receivable and financial reporting with autonomy and efficiency. The team was small but mighty. I appreciated how approachable and supportive everyone was from all departments.

Cons

Because the company operated fully remotely, it could sometimes be difficult to align schedules or catch team members in real time. Unlike an in office environment, spontaneous collaboration or quick check ins require more planning and flexibility. With a lean team, workloads could occasionally become intense, especially for roles outside of project finance. Some colleagues had to juggle multiple responsibilities which sometimes led to longer hours or stretched bandwidth. The high volume of task flowing through a small group occasionally caused slight delays in communication. While everyone was responsive and committed, the sheer pace of work meant that follow ups sometimes took longer than ideal. Also there is not an official HR role which can cause a delay in receiving and processing of employee request.
