Shocking Senior Management

Pros

Occasionally some free gear but you're made to feel like you've been given much more. It's a "big" brand name on your CV. That's literally it.

Cons

Zero benefits. Basic holiday allowance. Zero career progression. No bonuses. Zero culture. You do not feel valued. Serious issue with ethics inside the workplace (racial and gender specific).

Pros

You'll get experienced in your role very quickly...

Cons

This however is due to just how understaffed the creative departments are leading to you taking on excess amounts of work. Racism and sexism is rampant throughout the company starting with the CEO and trickling down to every piece of content that get's produced, don't believe me - just take a look at their website and social media accounts and ask yourself who is and isn't being represented... The employee turnover is through the roof, at least half the team I joined were gone within 6 months with the second half barely staying for longer than a year or two. The management team will string you along into believing pay rises are a possibility, not only is this false but they don't even have the power to enact them even if they wanted to because the CEO doesn't believe in them! Then we get to the micromanaging, management are control freaks so you'll get little to no freedom to exercise creativity in any role you're put in whether that be marketing manager, strategist, designer, art director or copywriter - the incredibly unqualified heads of department will overrule you regardless of how outdated their ideas are.
