Challenging but Worth it - Associate Creative Director Big Idea Group Employee Review

- competitive pay - flexible work schedule - WFH/ remote possibility - strong benefits package - understanding management - friendly culture

- some clients in different time zones/ big deadlines require later nights but that's the business.

Pay was decent but NOT worth it. My non-management co-workers were great.

I take pleasure in burning this bridge. It's going to be no secret to anyone who works there who this is. And I hope they see this. The creative director and the "big deal" (literally her title, the vagueness of which makes sense because she is bad at everything she does) are truly dreadful managers. They are petty and reckless children who project their insecurities onto everyone around them. They hate themselves and make it your problem. Just bad people. They make mistakes and blame them on you, and even when you make actual mistakes, they see them not as mistakes but as moral failures. They take everything personally. They say to ask questions and then hate you for asking questions. They are husks, empty shells, propped up by nothing but mutual reinforcement of their delusions. They really do deserve each other. They are utterly unaware of how easy it is to see through their nonsense. They laid me off after one of their clients stopped existing (great sign) and oh my god what a mercy. I didn't leave on my own because I hadn't landed anything else yet, but they pushed me out the door and I couldn't be more grateful. My current job pays less but I like it and I would never, ever, ever go back to big (stupid name, by the way). I hope that the business fails. It honestly seems pretty likely. I will buy myself a birthday cake on that day.
