FSC Interactive reviews

Unfortunately, as one reviewer said, it really is like a sorority -- the stereotypical bad parts, at least. The company offers low pay for the amount of work, and quality of work, they expect from you. They offer "flextime" benefits, but don't always uphold their end of the bargain. Or, if they do, it's a huge hassle. There are some great people there, but for the most part, it's a pretty catty work environment -- upper management involves additional coworkers into issues that had nothing to do with them, base advancement on favoritism and not measured/measurable results, and throw employees from client to client (without first consulting with the client on whatever change is happening). Management doesn't really listen to, or make positive changes as a result of, their employees' feedback. Employees don't really get true breaks, and are basically expected to work while on vacation. And, ultimately, there's the tendency to nickel and dime clients for the work that's being done, adding fee after fee onto their bills for any work that isn't within scope, even though the changes/additions are necessary for the client's success.

The other negative reviews are generally true. I'm writing this from a creative department point of view. If you've worked in the creativity industry, you will laugh at your set up here. Here's your tech list to split with three other content producers: one Walmart tripod, two cheap lights, two canon 70Ds with a kit lens (bring your own lens), someone lost the boom mic and they never replaced it, two backdrops but no backdrop stand (asked for a year for one, nothing) and a back office to shoot in. Yes, there is no studio space yet want studio quality work. You might be intrigued and excited by rigging a set out of an office, so if you enjoy that you'll be fine. Oh, and you'll have to use your co workers as actors. As the other reviews say, you'll be underpaid and overworked which is never a good combination. You will juggle anywhere from 5-8 clients basically churning out content. If you're the type of person who can just grin and bear it, you'll be fine. But if you're the type of creative who enjoys working with others on creative projects, 90% of your work will not be that. Management will over promise to clients about our ability production wise and then blame creatives on the shortcomings. The review about cliqueiness is also accurate.
