Amsive reviews

Well expect to told u can't take days off the 1-4 of every month. Expect a lot of OT too. The department manager over lettershop micro manages EVERYTHING! As if coming in and dealing with outdated machinery isn't bad enough, u have to deal with a department manager that nitpicks about every little thing . Rather your machine runs bad and u fight all shift to run 10k pieces or u have a great shift and run 30k, nothing is good enough for him. He monitors every single break u take, watches cameras constantly, fusses about the smallest things BUT he can't actually run a machine himself so he complains about things he doesn't understand. He brings down the moral because he has a "holier than thou" attitude and he doesn't appreciate his team. If you're in desperate need of a job, then work here but don't stay long! Between the machines giving u the same issues everyday and dealing with helicopter management, you'll get burnt out quick!!

Cons are highly subjective. 1. Don’t work at an agency if you're looking for a stress-free job. Caveat - Amsive is a relatively smaller digital agency compared to some agency giants. So there might be more work/life balance at those bigger companies where you're just on one or two clients. Keep in mind, you're likely going to learn much more if you work for a smaller agency. You have to figure out what's most important for you. 2. Not all directors and people in management roles are trained to ask good questions that will help you grow. I think managers here try to lead by example and they work hard, but that doesn’t always translate to strong leadership. If you're early in your career, seek outside sources and support on the types of conversations you should be having with your manager. Such as, what motivates you, what do you value, what is your growth potential, what does growth trajectory look like. On the plus side, the company as a whole has gotten much more standardized in their review and promotion process. Don't be afraid to give feedback if you're experiencing what seems like not the best leadership style. Amsive is a place that welcomes feedback. 3. You will face some strong personalities - people who are extremely smart, strategic and analytical, but can come off as harsh or too direct. Seek out trusted peers or outside sources on how to manage these challenging conversations when they come up. Try to stay focused on learning and growing from these experiences vs. letting it just bring you down.
