It's Not Worth It...At All

Pros

The people were nice, but everyone's so stretched thin that we all ended up disgruntled with each other from being over-worked.

Cons

Where do I start? Senior management is so busy pretending to be businessmen to impress each other that they are completely oblivious to what's actually going on within the company. Senior management is composed of a team of men who honestly do not know the job functionalities of their teams. You can openly tell who the favorites are. They do not have competitive salaries which is fine if you're just trying to get your foot in the door to this industry, but I would still advise against it. They do not pay their freelancers on time which happens sometimes, but it's infuriating when you can openly see that the CEOs are frivolously spending. Be prepared to be stretched thin and to get volunteered to do things outside of your job description ie photographing the CEO's daughter's art work. Also, if you're a woman, be fully prepared to overhear inappropriate comments. Don't waste your breath complaining to HR either; it'll take them days to get back to you with multiple follow-ups and the people at fault (also upper management) will just get a slap on the wrist. I wish it weren't true, but this is only the tip of the iceberg of problems. This company is a joke in comparison to other companies in the industry, and is going nowhere fast. I know people usually think that only people who left on bad terms write bad reviews, but I've worked with a lot people at this company who came in hopeful and bright-eyed (they sell a good story). Once you begin to actually see how the company functions, you'll notice that you've been sold short.

Pros

There are no pros to work here, trust me!

Cons

The worst place to ever work at. The upper management is not able to cover for the shortcomings of the owner/founder. Benoit and James live in a fantasy world with no connection to reality whatsoever. They will try to scam clients and employees every single awake time of the day, and worse they think nothing of it. Vendors never get paid nor does the talent they hire as freelancers. Your loyalty as an employee means nothing and they will never tell you the truth (should you actually be able to ask them questions).

Pros

free coffee, nice music in the lobby

Cons

I never believed Glassdoor reviews until I worked at Splashlight and see that they are true. On the surface Splashlight seems like a cool place to work but I feel there is alot of poor management. I personally didnt find the environment a good place to grow on a professional level. Poor structure, constant changes, communication is terrible. and its hard to trust upper management. There is a lack of sincerity and consistency. There seems to be alof of people who dont stay with the company very long. Good talent leaves. Splashlight needs to make alot of changes for the better but Im not sure its possible with things being so dysfunctional. Benefits are expensive. If I had to do it all over again, I would not choose this company as a place to work.

Pros

Had some great co-workers who I learned a lot from.

Cons

Upper management is completely out of touch, they keep trying to expand to new business while completely ignoring the needs of current staff, letting them flop on their faces without any support. Impossibly high volumes and expectations with barebones staff. Zero room for advancement. Freelancers have an extremely hard time getting paid.

Pros

As long as you put in the work the possibilities here are endless. The company wants to see their employees do well and grow. If I have ever felt under appreciated and voiced this, HR and upper management have listened and really put in the work to change. In addition to this all of the new recruitments have been REALLY great; helpful and hard working and things have been constantly changing for the better.

Cons

The work load can be a lot to handle, but new management and new teammates do what's possible to support!

Pros

Junior employees are full of talent and good at their jobs. They support each other when leadership gets hostile or irrational. You get exposure to cool fashion retail clients and other creatives, which is a good networking opportunity for when you're looking for your next job.

Cons

There's extremely high turn-over, and it's for a good reason. Employees are given little-to-no training then are often lambasted by upper management when the job is not done exactly how they want it done. Upper management is unpredictable, unprofessional, and ethically questionable toward its employees, and they successfully hide this from clients. Priorities change in a nano-second without any logical reason.

Pros

Literally none. There are some nice people who work there but Upper management is appalling. They don't care about anyone and will pretend to be your friend right up until they fire you without warning.

Cons

Management is disgusting. They got rid of me when I had covid. No warning, no explanation. They are continuing to harass me via email and no matter how many times I ask they continue to use my personal email on Linked Navigator to send me leads. No one is capable of deleting the account. Incompetent hurtful animals.
