Poor management.. lack of career progression - Anonymous employee The Creation Lab Employee Review

- Close to Dartford - Good way to learn very basic marketing strategy

- Highly toxic work environment -‘Blame-game’ culture with disorganised management - Unrealistic work load I still shock my current employers with stories about my time here. They welcome you initially with smiles and a cutesy ‘small family’ culture which eventually turns into them bullying and harassing you for any mistake or piling work onto you if you’re competent (able to juggle about twenty clients at a time and still attend the stupid two hour long meetings that go nowhere). Believe the poor reviews on here. Beware as a current employee if you are passing the ‘four month mark’ as the honeymoon period is almost over. The high staff turnover speaks for itself, no one I worked with apart from senior management is there anymore. I feel so sorry for anyone currently working here. I know management won’t learn anything or care no matter how many bad reviews they get because we’re all crazy and they are always right and have never done anything wrong. Okay! That’s why you’ve got such a poor Glassdoor score and while I was there we were ‘strongly encouraged’ to go on and give positive reviews. But I’m sure they’ll deny this like they deny any wrongdoing whatsoever.

Good place to start your career, leading to better and brighter things. Great team who I have some very fond memories with. Almost everyone I worked with would absolutely flourish at a well run company.

Incredible amount of work put on peoples plates. Unrealistic deadlines. No real vision. Managing director is worryingly needy for personal attention. ________________ Convenient how two almost identical glowing reviews pop up both published in the space of 24 hours. Cries of fake, or forced reviews. Fake reviews that list cons like "office can get a bit cold in winter" and "don't have to travel into London" really are signs of desperation from a management team trying to think of anything to write down to hold together any ounce of integrity that is left. Any reviewer giving Creation Lab anything higher than 2 stars are delusional. The 'good reviews' do make for funny reading though, you can almost see the puppet strings. Sad to see current employee's being coerced to post reviews, but nothing surprises me about that sinking ship. ________________
