Late Paying Freelancers - Anonymous employee Shilo Employee Review

There are literally no "Pros" whatsoever.

Where to begin... The office was a complete ghost town. There were zero full time creative staff, and an assortment of dated machines that look like they hadn't been turned on in months or possibly even years. The owner seems like a nice guy at first, until you attempt to get paid. I have talked to a number of friends of mine who are freelance who were forced to wait 4-6 months to be paid. I've had to involve lawyers to collect payment, and I still have yet to receive everything that I'm due over five months later. I would not be surprised if this company closes its doors permanently soon, if they haven't already. AVOID AT ALL COST!

Coworkers were great. Apparently I need to write at least 20 words, but I don't have that many positive things to say.

My experience was that the work was micromanaged, the environment was depressing, and the absentee owner was a seagull manager. Notes would come in late and production would expect you'd address them after your work day had finished. Most importantly, above all, they took FOREVER TO PAY. Don't expect to get money without badgering the owners daily, and even then don't expect it for months. I hope they close down soon, they're bad for the industry.
