Pros
Leaving this was a bittersweet breath of fresh air that I knew I needed but was hesitant to take. Between missing/incorrect checks, mold in the ceilings, broken bathrooms, lack of essential supplies (toilet paper), horrible crisis management, horrible project planning, disregard for employee concerns (regarding all the previously stated issues), untrained leadership and hints of unchecked racism, it’s difficult to leave any positive words behind about my experience at 3 Birds Marketing. The positives I can think of is that it showed by the red flags for future companies, offered me my first steps into my career and gave me the opportunity to meet some amazing people along the way. And I suppose the casual dress code was nice.
Cons
I find the President and CEO of the company to be overbearing, uninformed and apathetic towards their team and product. This could be a false observation, but based on their interactions with each other and the way that they respond to any feedback about the product or company - it is how they are viewed. Arguing over each other constantly puts productivity at a standstill and leaves the team confused on what the current company goals are. Referring to people as a cost, not being bothered with employe concerns and seemingly refusing to be empathetic towards the loss of amazing team members drives a stake in the hearts of those that work underneath them. Organization and communication of the company is something that they “seemed” to be working on before I left but lacked greatly in the time that I was there (regarding layoffs, products, projects, etc). With little training, quick promotions and constant turnover, it is difficult for an employee to know what duties their job entails and how to properly support the team. Any changes to current methods are a hit-or-miss on whether they are taken as decent recommendations, depending on who you speak to and how they feel that day.
