Oh, this is a lot. You ready?
- Overworked and underpaid staff, particularly the graphic designers
- One too many changes with the organizational process
- Poor and impulsive decision-making by management
- Procedures used to be simple and there was an "open-door" policy which allows everyone to have a voice, but as changes kept rolling out, procedures and rules became more and more bureaucratic over time.
- Toxic workplace politics as a result of the growing bureaucracy within the company
- While career growth might be possible within the company, achieving such feats may not be due to hard work and perseverance, but on how much you're willing to be compliant and tolerant of the abject injustice within the company
- Management expects everyone to be compliant to every decision being made
- If dissenting opinions or concerns were expressed, BEWARE. Could cause one to be removed from the company.
- Management claims to listen to such concerns, but they remain mostly unaddressed for YEARS
- No contracts, and the lack thereof allows them to escape any possible liability or even the most basic obligations to their employees
- Management also seems to be wary of the subject of contracts as well
- Management is also highly skilled at manipulation and gaslighting
- The company is also highly sensitive to negative reviews.
- Any criticism is framed as "negative" despite being provided with constructive feedback.
- Any concern expressed is immediately labelled as just mere "negativity"
- Lastly? NO EMPLOYEE BENEFITS.
A lot of their actions seem to be pretty illegal, to be honest. Since there are no contracts, they are legally not liable to provide any sort of employee protection or stability. Very exploitative and simply just not worth it. If you're a budding new designer, please be aware of your worth. This company is not worth your time, effort, and talent. You're better off seeking employment elsewhere.
