Pros

Entry-level, full and part-time positions. Full-time get benefits. Some opportunities for useful experience. Flexible scheduling and PTO. Excellent colleagues.

Cons

Pay will be at or near minimum-wage for whichever city you are located in. Management is entirely directionless. Layoff sprees happen every year or so, until they realize they're severely understaffed and need to hire and retrain new employees. MediaScience struggles to retain quality employees because of poor pay and poor work culture. Cost-cutting and corner-cutting mean you will never really get a chance to produce quality work you're proud of. Company leadership are either absentee bosses or micromanagers, quick to blame others for their oversights. The company is operated like a newly formed startup, but it's been that way for years. Do not expect meaningful improvement or sustainable practices. You will be asked to go beyond your stated job description and schedule. Setting boundaries may be treated as disloyalty.
