ID Media Worldwide Reviews

I worked at ID Media Worldwide full-time for less than a year

Pros – The people in the office are great and they do a lot to make sure that employees get opportunities to interact with one and another, including interdepartmental training's.

Cons – A lot of work and the pay for entry level was worst than most

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

I worked at ID Media Worldwide full-time

Pros – Lots of days off and good benefits. Some nice people to work with. The office had a nice location and office building.

Cons – Management is not interested in your career growth. The job you are hired for is what they want you to do indefinitely. There are not opportunites to work on different tasks or learn new skills. The company lacks growth because new business replaces old business. If you like a stagnant work environment this place is for you. Very low salaries and long hours which lead to high turnover. In my last year there I counted 8 people that left, about a 40% turnover. Again, no long term growth. Also, understaffed with few assistants, so even if you get promoted you still do the duties of an assistant. Only senior level and above get assistant help. Gets old watching upper level skip out the door at 5:15pm and you are regularly there until 730p or 8p, four nights a week, sometimes Sat., doing your work plus assistant work. You are disrespected frequently by upper managment. Anything bad they blame on workers underneath them. They are never accountable or wrong. I resigned after not receiving a promotion.

Advice to Senior Management – Get more help at the assistant level, so mid level people are not working 50 to 60 hours per week and coming in on Saturdays to get work done. There is no reason for a mid level experienced worker to be doing pre and post logs, and calling for invoices when they have media buys and negotiations to get done. Then managment camplains about your work quality, when they are the ones leaving at 515p because they all have assistants. Also, pay workers a fair salary and the turnover wont be so high. Also, women run the show so I would not recommend for a man. Anti-male and probably only hire due to EEO laws that dictate a certain number have to be hired.

4) Open lines of communication from top to bottom

Advice to Senior Management – Keep up the good work. Love the quarterly meetings where we can continue to be informed of how the agency is doing and what is expected. The town hall meetings are a great forum but would love to see the management team more in LA. Maybe hold a town hall meeting on the road in the different offices?

I have been working at ID Media Worldwide

Pros – Very good paid time off policy, most people are friendly.

Cons – Pay is low, some people are treated poorly by their supervisors and bosses at times. The hours are supposed to be 9-5, but many people are expected to come in earlier and stay later. Odd policies throughout the office.

Advice to Senior Management – If you want to stop the somewhat high turnover rate you need to pay your people well, treat them well and let them have a life. Train higher level employees to have respect for the people under them.
