3 Wasted Awful Years - Anonymous employee Alloy Media Employee Review

It was a really fun and young environment so as an intern I did not ever feel out of place.

Sometimes as an intern there can be a lack of work, just ask for more work and it will usually turn up.

Alloy is a nice place to start after graduating from college - it's a foot into media - and offers a great opportunity for graduates to see how things work at the bottom of the media food chain. Assistants are involved in the every day execution of media campaigns. Because assistants spend hours making confirmation phone calls with vendors, they are able to develop relationships and hone their soft skills. Alloy is also very generous with granting vacation and sick days - there is very little hassle. Work environment is very laid back - casual dress every day.

There is very poor internal communication. Everything seems to be so compartmentalized - assistants are not notified of new job openings within company. Employees must apply for positions considered promotions -- managers do not recommend members of their group -- this exacerbates employee/manager relationships because employees don't feel valued. Also, employees are not aware of what other groups/departments work on -- or even what other departments their exist within company. There is also no further education/tuition reimbursement program offered.
