Pros

I met really lovely staff there, most were junior employees who came in and then did leave within 1-2 years. I retained some great friends there. The projects can be interesting.

Cons

Creative is a family business and can be a very challenging environment to navigate. There are some staff who will never be held accountable there and the staff and projects suffer. I participated in meetings where staff yelled at one another, belittled others and these instances were reported to HR, but there is a lack of confidentiality there and people fear retaliation. There needs to be some large changes in staffing at senior levels. I enjoyed the work but really never was so unhappy with an organizations senior management.
