Great people, interesting work - Senior Producer Diginovations Employee Review

The opportunities you receive from working at Diginovations are invaluable at any stage in your career. The team behind Diginovations is an incredibly talented, passionate, hard working staff of individuals. The Digi team is closely knit. You will quickly find that you’re working alongside friends, not coworkers. This means, your opinions are heard, your ideas are explored with excitement and interest, and your health, family, and wellbeing are cared for. In my time at Digi, management and human resources spent lots of time finding stronger, more competitive benefit programs for their employees that resulted in better retirement funds, HSA, and travel reimbursement. The leadership is not that of your typical “Boss” mentality. It’s said a “boss” gives orders, but a leader leads. From the moment I began at Diginovations, the management showed true leadership, leading by example, they are in the thick of the long shoot days, single day edits, and the consistent travel. Another benefit to Digi’s atmosphere is the constant welcome toward expanding your horizons, trying new styles, or altogether building new skillsets. When I began, I started within a few aspects of production, but the consistent freedom to experiment, as well as purchased resources to explore outside of my assignments, allowed me to improve my craft in a range of still photo and video applications. Some instances include, flash kits, lighting scenarios, drone operation and licensing, multicam setup and operations, motion control tools and equipment, sound, software tutorials, and more. On top of the work and office atmosphere, there is a fascinating component to the diversity of work that runs through Digi’s veins. Equipped with knowledge in every form of media content, Digi produces educational, academic, social, corporate, live show, product, mini-doc, non-profit, and so much more. This variety disparages any monotony within the schedule. Diginovations is incredibly well versed in its trade with a focus on capturing depth, emotion, and story in every project. I can’t imagine you would find a more well rounded crew of people with this level of passion in creating video and photo work in Massachusetts. Diginovations cultivates a passion that encompasses creativity, people, ethics, growth, and integrity.

I don't believe there are cons caused specifically by Digi OUTSIDE of the realm of work that they do. This line of work whether it is with a company, freelance, or contract based, requires some moments of sacrificing time or comfort, but again, Digi makes it a point to provide compensation to their employees through travel/milage reimbursment, overtime hours, as well as in-office appreciation lunches, and more.

We created award winning pieces and were praised by most of our clients. I say most because we had one employee that was cancer and we'd have to deal with clients directly to clean up his messes when he wasn't sexually harassing female interns and staff for years. But he no longer works at Diginovations, so that's one for the pro side!

When we had work, it was often rushed because one of the producers (we'll call him Mont) would over promise and under deliver. It took nearly a year and a half to get a raise I was promised after always being excluded from bonuses and incentives. Systems were overtaxed and outdated. I had to train my own boss to do things he claimed he knew how to do. Complaints to management would fall on deaf ears. The president of the company lied to employees and laid half the company off after funds were poorly managed.
