Pros

Having worked for a number of production companies over the years - I can tell you from experience - Team People are a great employer. They look after their staff with great benefits, competitive salaries and and a really supportive network. Any job will bring up challenges over time. And I can confidently say, any concerns I have bought up, have been dealt with swiftly and resolved completely. They take you seriously as a member of their team - and want to support and nurture your development.

Cons

None that I can think of.

Pros

If you are someone who enjoys working long hours, talking about people behind their back or having people talk about your behind your back, feeling forced to make this job your life, then this would be a great opportunity for you. The work the company does is great but it's drowned out by the day to day hassles and obstacles of working there. During the interview, you'll think "wow this is a growing company but they all seem really nice and they want to help me grow." 6 months later you will realize that this is not the case but you'll continue trying to learn your job and get good at it. One year later you face the fact that the company has a multitude of issues and they don't want to help you to progress. Don't waste your time.

Cons

This company has so much potential but poor management has created high turnover, several annoyed clients, and no true professional development in their employees. Many of us were eager to grow with the company but the lack of constructive feedback and bandwidth to manage the teams caused several employees to leave HQ over the last 2 years. Being acquired by System One only exposed these deficiencies that have always been there. Those managing don't have bandwidth to actually manage the team and they continue to get promoted because of their time with the company.

Thank you for providing this feedback. We are sorry that you had this experience working for us. At TeamPeople, it is the expectation that our employees and freelancers collaborate for the success of the greater team and the advancement of our business and our clients’ objectives. We have an open-door policy, and we are transparent in our approach. We value authenticity, constructive feedback and a passion for the video and media industry. Our managers at HQ and at our client locations must produce results on a variety of fronts. We hear what you are saying about delegation and communication and we are taking new approaches with reporting structure and coaching so that no one feels as if they’re not supported or are left with a lasting negative impression. In the past 3 years, we have invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in employee development through structured seminars, tuition reimbursement, online training, on-the-job training, industry events and memberships as well as ANSI and association certifications. Employing the tools offered requires action on the part of senior leadership, managers and individual contributors themselves. As we transform as a part of System One, the core values that made us successful will remain and we now have greater capacity for innovation. We are a work in progress and remain grateful for the time people spend working with us. Again, thank you for the feedback and we wish you the best on your chosen path.

Pros

They find some good work for you with interesting clients. They provide fast payment for you as long as you invoice in timely manner..

Cons

They seem to forget about you after some time of working freelance for them. Sometimes let small things slip through the cracks.

As our first review, we wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for your feedback. Many of changes we have implemented over the years have been direct results from the honest advice and recommendations that we receive from our talent. We are extremely proud of the improvements we have made in the last 7 years and are even more excited about the future as we continue to innovate. We hope that you found an opportunity to #DoWhatYouLove and would invite you give the 2019 TeamPeople a chance to exceed your expectations.
