DIY Media Group Reviews

Pros

cares about employees and client needs

Cons

many different products to learn about

Pros

Co-workers (fellow factory workers), vending machines and cafeteria

Cons

Hard work will go unrecognized, ESPECIALLY for BIPOC employees. Over-time is expected; management will not be there! Management is lazy and the entire company is ran by those who are paid the least (but work the most). Expect to spend every waking moment dedicated to a factory that produces mass amounts of waste and at it's core thrives off exploitation.

Pros

Great coworkers with great teamwork

Cons

Changing management affecting work culture

Pros

Fully remote work is convenient.

Cons

Too much micro managing for me.

Pros

Healthcare and profit sharing and 401k

Cons

DIY Media Group discriminations the older workers. If you get sick with a major illness they find a way to terminate your employment. Older employees are past up for promotions while younger less knowledgeable employees are promoted. When you tell your supervisor about a work related issue you are told it is not your concern

Pros

PTO, pay, insurance, profit gain bonuses, diversity. The CEO is a great leader by example and isn't intimidating. My team leader and manager are both awesome at communicating and not micromanaging. It feels good to be treated like I matter. The company is growing greatly and the opportunities are endless. Supporting the art world is what we do. It's an amazing feeling!

Cons

I honestly can not think of one thing that I do not like about DIY Media Group.

Pros

Hours are abundant if you want them.

Cons

There is a high amount of nepotism and favortism in this company. Employees are also underpaid. They will hound you to work overtime, too. Often times will ask you to work weekends. If you tell them NO, they'll accept it, but you can tell they get upset by it when you don't. I worked my butt off for this company. There is a huge lack of communication amongst management & employees. I would not recommend this workplace to anyone. They don't even stand by the core values that are posted on the walls as you enter the building. I was bullied into leaving my position. They gave me no other choice but to walk out and leave. A year and a half of my service in the middle of a pandemic no less.

Pros

The workers (except the management) are all great. They are the only reason I can't give this place a 1 star rating.

Cons

1. The management sucks. The management is a bunch of men who refuse to take into consideration the needs of their workers. The company encourages feedback on ways to improve, but whenever you provide criticism or suggestions you will find that your written suggestions end up in the trash. 2. There is no advancement, and if you do manage to get any additional jobs you won't be paid extra for it. 3. The customers are all angry, rude, and make you hate yourself while talking to them. Rarely you will get a nice person on the phone, but that is incredibly rare.

Pros

The people you work with and suffer with.

Cons

The management, the workload, the communication(lackthereof), the lack of foresight, the lack of longterm planning, the clear disregard for the wellbeing of employees, the short staffing, the fact none of the managers except the VP really have any power, the customers are allowed to be abusive without consequence, the company's essentially run by the whim of one man.

Pros

The benefits and the non management staff are great - Company decided to make Face Masks to help fight COVID

Cons

They have a higher manager making poor and biased decisions for the other managers and staff, and as a result many people were fired and laid off during this COVID pandemic. Multiple people I personally am close with, were some of the backbones of this company and wore many hats in the field. Now that they are gone not only do we need to cover for them, we have to do our jobs too. They also cut back on overtime so we can't get any of the work done.
