Pros

There truly are no positive benefits or experiences at soona.

Cons

No consistency. Manager had no time to train me adequately and even admitted it themselves. How can you expect me to be successful if I am constantly being set-up to fail? Other staff does not take care of equipment/sets properly, leaving messes everywhere for other people to take care of. Staff that has been there longer is treated differently (they leave early, don't tear down their sets, etc and somehow get away with it). Clique-ish environment. Stated upon hiring they could provide "at least 20 hours a week, but no more than 30", but I usually only got 12-16 hours a week at most. Sometimes I wasn't booked for weeks at a time. Their decision to lay-off production specialists really made everything harder. This company and their full-timers are constantly in the red and not achieving KPI's, so they use part-timers as an easy scapegoat to give the boot. I never felt accepted at Soona, and anytime I'd reach out to the people above my manager for growth opportunities I would be left on read and ghosted. Do not work here unless you want to feel absolutely disposable and worthless as an artist and human.

Pros

The people. The team at soona has been one of the most supportive and inspiring collection of people I've met. I enjoyed my work as a Production Manager producing photo and video shoots.

Cons

As with most start ups, the atmosphere can be strained with high output.

Pros

Base salary, remote work, can get commissions too.

Cons

Wants you to exceed expectations without management support. Toxic positivity was too much makes you wanna vomit! Management reacts aggressively to criticism. And then fire people for commenting and saying their grievances out loud!
