Great place to grow - werkgeversreview Anonieme werknemer bij Tattoo Projects

If you’re looking into the company’s intern academy, consider Tattoo. The 2-year career growth path after 6-month intern program is a fairly decent opportunity if you’re just getting started in the marketing world/post-grad workforce, great opportunity for hands on experience, opportunities to learn about other aspects of marketing and collaborate with various departments. Interns also get about 3 weeks PTO, as well as a company-wide summer break and about a 2-week company-wide break at the end of the year for the holiday season. Salaried employees are offered health insurance, including dental & vision. Small agency means a plethora of avenues to grow within the company, and leadership aims to encourage internal growth. Small agency also means family-mentality — the creatives look after each other and are willing to lend a helping hand to get projects across the finish line. Great workplace to jumpstart your career as a young professional.

Quick turnarounds for projects and not enough staff to balance workload, gap between junior-level employees and leadership which causes issues in work distribution, expect to potentially work late nights and early mornings to meet deadlines, and base salary after going through the intern program is 45k (very little to no flex on this starting salary) with the goal of getting employees from 45k to 75k in that 2-year span. Unfortunately, this salary offer just doesn’t come close to competing with current job market salaries.

There are some really talented folks working there as individual contributors.

Tattoo Projects touts that they are a different kind of agency from ones that would work you to the bone and ignore your well being. I found that becoming less and less of the case the longer I worked there. The profit over people decisions became more and more frequent. The lack of accountability by leadership bordered on childish finger pointing. A downward trend in employee happiness based on internal survey results was continually written off as growing pains. Mistakes weren’t tolerated by individual contributors, but could be expected on a regular basis from leadership. I would steer clear.
