Pros
Highly amenitized building, proximity to interesting events & people. Compensation for full time employees is on the high end, but (see below) there are very poor benefits.
Kontras
Day 1: no computer, no desk, no introductions. And outside of basic healthcare, 0 competitive benefits. Seriously, none. The lights in the office don't work, so it's dark all day. When you do get a desk, the space is so crowded it's impossible to move without actually touching your coworkers or moving chairs out of the way. Day 2 + onward: while the client roster is high profile and exciting, it's quick to notice the work is successful by total happenstance and sex appeal, which is fine, but lack of strategy seems to encompass each and every approach. It breeds a very silent, tactless, workspace and is seriously uncomfortable. Because the building doubles as a coworking space, everyone on the Spring Studios teams (events, production, agency, partnerships) are afterthoughts, meaning besides 0 desk space, there is not another single place in the 5 floor building to collaborate or speak above a whispered volume. This also can't go unsaid - theres a significant racial & classist divide. Building staff (backend operations, loading docks, janitorial, event greeters) are almost exclusively POC hires paid hourly rates, while much of management, executive, and sales highly compensated white & male. Again, an offputting workspace culture that is definitely not on the decision making-team's radar/priority.
