Pros

RUN has managed to create an environment of inclusion and support that makes the company feel more like family than work. Everyone respects one another and the opportunities for growth are high. The company invests in it's employees who show potential and motivation to grow.

Cons

Corporate video production is hard work and sometimes expands beyond 9-5 but there's still a good work/life balance in my opinion.

Poor Leadership

Pros

Provides a creatively stimulating environment where individuals are encouraged to think outside the box and explore innovative solutions. The diverse range of projects offers a unique platform for honing one’s skills and learning from some of the talented individuals in the industry.

Cons

Having been an employee at RUN Studios, LLC, I looked forward to contributing to the company’s endeavors. However, over time, the leadership’s shortcomings became a significant concern, affecting the company culture and overall morale. 1. Backstabbing: The current leadership at RUN Studios, LLC seems to perpetuate a culture where backstabbing among colleagues is commonplace. This toxic environment is detrimental to team morale and individual job satisfaction. It is disheartening to see such behavior go unchecked and, at times, even encouraged. 2. Lack of Vision and Values: The leadership’s lack of a clear guiding vision and core values has left the company rudderless. Without a coherent framework of values or a clear vision, decision-making often comes across as arbitrary and inconsistent. This lack of direction has resulted in a disengaged workforce unsure of the company’s long-term objectives. 3. Poor Communication: The opaque communication from the leadership regarding crucial decisions and changes has bred a climate of uncertainty and mistrust. A more transparent communication strategy could significantly mitigate these issues. 4. Absence of Professional Growth: There is a noticeable lack of emphasis on professional development and growth. Leadership should be investing in the development of its employees, aiding them in progressing in their careers while also contributing more effectively to the company. 5. Inaction on Feedback: Despite numerous feedback sessions and surveys, there seems to be no actionable steps taken to address the concerns raised by employees. This inaction is a clear indication of the leadership’s disregard for employee input and satisfaction. I hope that the leadership at RUN Studios, LLC takes the necessary steps to address these critical issues. A more supportive, transparent, and visionary leadership could significantly enhance the company culture, employee satisfaction, and the overall success of RUN Studios, LLC.

Solid contracting company

Pros

Many relationships in the field. Mostly operating in corporate video with Microsoft and Amazon. Seattle based, but works with remote personnel, too.

Cons

Usual contracting company woes. For me, RUN is middle management, processing payroll and paperwork for a Microsoft contact. One of my managers was not knowledgeable and a typical bureaucrat who was a non-entity to my team. After a year, though, she was replaced with a very good manager with knowledge of the field. I'm as pleased with RUN as I have been with any contracting company in a 26 year career dealing with similar organizations.
