Pros

Great social media training. Buddy system. The people made this place great, not management. All the great people have left and now they will have to burn and turn new ones. Use this place to your advantage for a few months THEN LEAVE.

Cons

A lot of people have already voiced valid points here. - Playing favorites, management will not notice you unless you place hard office politics and become insipid greedy stepping-on-toes robots. - Underpaid and very stressful environment. They spread you thin without balance and enough resouces (get some campaign managers, pr people, extra assistants). - They control you with fear... pulling you into "private" meetings, but sometimes private meetings where they reprimand you are overheard or they don't care and everyone hears it. Bad culture. - The first day when I worked there, they fired someone and there were no good reasons. It was all covered. No transparency or meetings really to discuss. They mask it with "they left." Good people are let go. It's like a revolving door was built at the front. - Another employee had deplorable behavior in the office (talks about drinking and sex loudly) and was promoted later. Another point in playing favorites. - They want to work you like a horse and if you don't meet crazy expectations, it seems as if you are "lazy" - All the good people left.

Wow. If you are still at Splash Media, you are hiding your feelings well. Please speak with Human Resources about your dissatisfaction. If you have already left, we wish you the best.

Pros

Award-winning video professionals. Veterans of a constantly-evolving web/social media industry. Innovative software developers. Strategic thinkers with valuable experience building successful businesses. The Splash Media team is the perfect mix of technology and creativity; marketers who got in on the ground floor of the digital revolution, television producers/directors who blazed a trail in corporate communications and training, and social media specialists with stellar resumes as branding and content experts.

Cons

Splash Media is great place to learn about video production and it's business structure. I worked in the telecommunications department and handled phone sales. My supervisor was a GREAT coach and awarded us for a successful day. Although, I had knowledge of social media in which surpassed most of the management staff, I was promised a position with the new company developing which is their new business model. I was "let go" due to my call volume, yet I convinced many companies that social media was the new word of mouth marketing. I also even helped with script writing. In the humble beginnings of the new structure they really didn't listen to their employees and I was let go just because of call volume when I had a vast tool set of potential and knowledge which they promised yet didn't deliver.

UPDATE: Splash Media was bought by our awesome and charismatic CEO in 2013. Today's Splash is a Top Agency in Dallas, and does award-winning work around the globe. We benchmark our pay and benefits and are similar to other firms our size. Our point of differentiation is our people, and we work hard to make a fun and collaborative culture. We are a different agency than all the reviews prior to 2013. Check us out!
