Pros

- I don't work there anymore - Cool projects pop up - The owner can be very generous

Cons

- The culture is cold, it can also be toxic and cliquey. There are obvious favorites. - The senior staff does not have experience working at other firms, leading to this idea that the way things are done there is the only way to do things - There is no transparency. If you're not meeting expectations or if you do something that is not in line with their methods it is not treated as a "teachable moment" and very little course correcting is offered. - Senior staff obviously gossip to each other about the design team, they note everyone that walks in 1 minute late and act passive aggressively towards them. This attitude has the whole staff on edge. - You're not treated like an adult. You're tethered to your desk.

Pros

I had a great experience overall here at Studio K. I didn't have any experience in the interior design industry but I learned so much about the industry and furthered my marketing and creative skills. My role was unique because I didn't work directly with any of the designers but I still felt very important and had a lot of fun rebranding and growing our marketing. My role allowing me to dip my toes in so many roles and tasks. There are so many amazing projects that Studio K is involved in which was really exciting. I gained a lot of confidence and skills that I will be taking to my next job. The people here are truly what made me enjoy going to work each day. Everyone is so kind and fun and makes everyone feel respected and included. I made some really close friends here. This was an amazing experience that I am truly grateful for.

Cons

Because it is a smaller company in the beginning there was not as much structure when it came to my position in marketing. I could have have benefited from a bit more training but I know this is something they are working on. But I really learned to create my own system that worked for myself and my mentor.
