Pros

Good work life balance, most of the team are good guys, free coffee and snacks, nice office (don't be fooled)

Cons

Unprofessional and paranoid owners that make work unbearable at times. One owner in particular brings paranoia to a new level. (He also claims disabled veteran status which truly is shameful) An overall gossipy high school type environment with unqualified higher ups.

Synergy Media Group Response
9y
Thank you for your feedback. A lot has changed for the better in the past year since you were employed here. The atmosphere is very positive and our end of year numbers reflect that. Synergy and its management is focused on building a positive environment that gives its employees the tools and drive to succeed. Our team is more focused than ever on building strong customer relationships and designs that any company would be proud of. Formerly serving in the United States Army with integrity and honor, Synergy Media Group is a Certified Service Disabled Veteran Owned Company. A status that has a very stringent and thorough vetting process. One that takes over 6 months of review. This is not just something a company or owner can just "claim". We have just completed our reviews last month and the positive and constructive ideas for each employee (Including Sr. Management) have been laid out for all to have a path to success.

Pros

Synergy's leaders are clearly invested in client relationships and dedicated to precise and timely work. Internally, I have found that each employee works to better the company, to increase productivity with attention to detail, and to strengthen interpersonal relationships with creativity and fun. I feel lucky to belong to such a passionate, talented, and hardworking crew, and I try my best to keep up!

Cons

Our company is growing. So, naturally, more work means more work! But as business hits an upswing, I feel like my co-workers and I are equipped to tackle each obstacle, and I am looking forward to adding to our team to ease the growing pains. At the end of the day, this feels like a good problem to have, and one that will solve itself if given time.

Pros

-Company vehicle and fuel card -free junk food? -A few good guys that try to keep things light and fun.

Cons

-Everyone is salary. Meaning you will not get paid for the overtime you will be expected to work -Pay is below average in comparison to local competitors -Benefits package is mediocre -Turnover rate is very high (90% voluntary) -Raises are rarely given and typically less than 2% of annual pay -Pay checks are once a month -Very little accountability and QC -No per diem for out of town work (average 5 to 6 weeks per year) -Not at all conducive to family life (work/life balance) -Very gossipy -"likablity" over competence -Very small company, little room for advancement -Majority distrust of management team -Everyone is replaceable. Ownership makes this very clear -No formal training opportunities -Misuse of company assets for personal endeavors -No Christmas bonus Its also important to note that most of these reviews were written under the discretion of the management team by the marketing/HR department.
