The opportunities for travelling the UK and the world going to many different events and places are incredible as well as being able to experience/drive some pretty cool cars at the same time. The experiences I had were some of the best times of my life and I am happy that they were captured on camera with some people I can now call my good friends. Another pro which was kind of specific to me was that management were very helpful when it came to me ending up in hospital having surgery and being off for 5-6 weeks. I'm grateful that they gave me time to recover fully. | You are asked to work the hours necessary to complete your duties but in the world of news/entertainment based social media, your duties are almost endless. You feel pressured to stay later to finish videos (in my case as a producer) due to unrealistic release times and the time you are given to work on a project. I would often work 12 or more hours a day on a very basic wage with no overtime pay. When I started it was all about numbers, constantly chasing for bigger numbers month on month. It would end up making you feel as if a great month of views would be down to you performing badly at your job if it was not better than the month before. During my time working at Car Throttle they shifted more to wanting high quality production rather than hitting big numbers month on month, this seemed to be light relief but then very little to no money was invested in expanding the team or getting in appropriate equipment to help grow the production level, then you would still be made to feel bad if you didn't get good numbers even if it was the best produced content you had made. Working here (especially as part of the production or social team) takes over your life, say goodbye to any social life you have or even messaging friends and family. You work non-stop all day for long hours and then you are left to eat, sleep and repeat. The experiences you have around the UK and the world DO NOT outweigh the costs to your health and social/family life. | -1.0 | NEGATIVE | 0.0 | NO_OPINION | 2.0 | 2.0 | 1.0 | 3.0 | 1.0 | 1.0 | 1.0 | 1328614 | Open | Invest more time into hearing what your employees have to say, don't discount what they say or take it as a personal attack. It makes it very hard to feel like you a valued member of the team if you make it hard for employees to open up about how they feel working there. Stop with your empty promises of getting new staff, new kit or moving to a new office, it makes it hard to then believe anything you say. Not that I felt you said much, be more open and transparent about what your plans are. With such a small team it helps to know what you're thinking but also what you plan on doing with each area of the business and what you would like everyone to focus a little or a lot more time on. Finally please make sure that whoever you employee or promote to a "head of" or management role has either prior experience or gets properly trained. Then when there is an issue with employees and management, don't turn it into an open table between them and have another member of management there to act as a judge. It makes it feel like you are not taking your employee's concerns seriously and that you favour other managers/heads of. | 0.0 | [] | REGULAR | No | No | 2.0 | Jan 13th, 2021 07:38PM | Jan 13th, 2021 07:38PM | Car Throttle | Automobiles & Parts | ||||||||||
