Pros
C Space is famously known for its people. There are loads of smart, fun and hardworking people here, many of which will become your friends inside and outside of work. It’s a great company to learn a lot from—largely because you’re expected to do a TON but that’s a separate topic. You get experiences at c space that you wouldn’t get at other companies in such junior roles—client exposure, data read outs & traveling for work, to name a few. There also is a very fun culture when you’re in the office! Lots of fun events, social gatherings and overall fun in the office.
Cons
C Space hasn’t seemed to learn how to demonstrate that they “value” employees, since the same type of review has been happening since I started years ago. The pay is not good, yet they make you feel like you ARE being paid fairly & that you won’t get better pay elsewhere. Very false. I know this is somewhat out of their control due to Omnicom, but please figure it out. The work-life balance is awful. They tell you to “set boundaries”, but the culture is very much so “put we before me.” It can be frustrating when you express exhaustion & burn out, only to be told “push back on the work!” The roles themselves tend to come with a ton of different responsibilities, so it can be challenging to get it all done & not work long hours. I think the whole company could benefit from hiring PROPERLY to reduce burn out and therefore decrease turnover. So many people leave because they’re burnt out, which continues the brutal cycle of being understaffed and having to train new people. Perhaps one of the most difficult parts of the job were the all staff meetings, where the same 10 people were put on a pedestal, only to leave the remainder of the burnt out, exhausted employees annoyed. It felt like some folks in leadership wanted change, but others blatantly ignored the problems.
