Indigo Slate Reviews

Project timelines are CHAOS. There is a complete disconnect between what account managers promise clients and what's actually feasible to accomplish. They have zero understanding of the creative the process. "Sure, we can get that done in 7 weeks, no problem!" Even if these timelines were possible, they'd need to be closely monitored by capable project managers. Unfortunately projects are doomed to fail from the start because the project managers are thrown to the wolves with little to no training. All of this might be tolerable if the PTO package was at least average (it's not), the benefits were good (they're not) or the pay was appropriate for your area and field and of expertise (it's woefully low). There's a reason why the turnover is as high as it is.

Incredibly low salaries Sexist management (seriously don't even reply to me about this one, ya'll know) Passive aggressive management Executives are never on the same page, which creates chaos Poor project management practices Management caves to clients frequently, creating stress and unprofitable projects No career trajectory, unless you like pretending Indigo Slate is a great place to work Work/life balance is frowned upon No acknowledgement for people who go above and beyond their job description Occasionally you feel like you're back in high school when directors and executives spread rumors about you (I almost have to applaud Indigo Slate for this one, I thought I'd never feel like I was in high school again! So full of angst and rebellion!) There's probably more but I've blocked it out
