Pros

People are great - the team is young and dynamic which means there is a lot of energy and enthusiasm. You'll learn to work under pressure and you'll gain a lot of client-facing expertise.

Cons

Over time - you'll work it constantly. All your work is done within a tight weekly time frame and if you get overload you will undoubtedly stay back 2 hours a night regularly. This is rarely addressed by management. They also like to throw around the term 'Negative Nancy' when people complain about working conditions.

Pros

the reps who hire you are nice, but the upper mgmt and accounts dept is horrible

Cons

i was hired by one of their rep to be a photographer on their list for food jobs here in the USA. you sign their contract stating that after 1 months form the job you will be paid. Well it was 3months later and i still had not been paid. No one had reached out to me with an update. I had to harass and contact the CEO several times to get payment. Once payment was i finally sent my bank took money form the wire so i lost even more money from that job. Out of all the ways they could have paid me they chose to make it more difficult. The company is not experienced and managed by a CEO who clearly doesnt know how to deal with freelancers.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We take feedback seriously; however, we are unable to reconcile parts of this review with our experience of the business. Over the past three years, we have had one team member leave the company, and there have been no departures from the Business Development function specifically. Claims regarding high turnover therefore do not reflect our retention history. We place a strong emphasis on collaboration, transparency, and accessible leadership, and we encourage anyone with genuine concerns to raise them directly so they can be discussed and addressed constructively.
