Pros

The pro were definitely the people I worked with directly in my teams. We all got along really well, which made work life easier.

Cons

The management and the wage disparity in the company was questionable. I would report to someone who was on a lot more than I was, yet myself and our team would be responsible for more than our job title would suggest and the success of the channels we worked on would often rest on our shoulders. There was often a disconnect between us and management on the content, a lot of the programming we did was aimed towards 16-35 demographic so I found myself trying to explain certain pieces of work to someone who didn't understand the culture. We also received pay rises that were capped at a certain percentage, as apparently that was a company policy. I remember asking for a certain percent pay rise to take my salary up to what I thought was a reasonable number, however because it was over the percentage threshold it wasn't possible. This didn't really make sense to me as someone with a much bigger salary could get a small percentage pay rise and it would be a lot more than what I was asking for.

Pros

- began work with an amazing team and culture - exposure to major IP and high-profile campaigns - some genuinely talented and passionate colleagues - fast-paced environment that builds skills quickly - healthcare is decent - some fun on-lot perks

Cons

- poor work/life balance exceptions from SPTV lower and upper management - unmanageable workload left little room for the collaboration and meeting engagement leadership expected - upper management changes resulted in reactive restructuring with little regard for team culture or continuity - inconsistent management: some leaders failed to empower or advocate for their teams - clear office politics which interfere with business decisions - quick burnout when management fails to course-correct workload - leadership set workloads based on personal work style rather than sustainable team norms - little to no growth opportunities - 4 days in office is excessive and unnecessary
