COMPLEX

At Complex there were three different businesses in one, there was a fitness center a production company for entertainment and a hair salon. I worked for the fitness center doing all of the administrative work. Being that "Energy fitness" was very new on the market, I was allowed the opportunity as an intern marketing student I had the chance to utilize my  skills as a marketing student.  I worked on the promotions for the company, created the look and feel  of the diet plans and performed a competitive analysis. The greatest part about working for Energy fitness/ Complex was the cool environment, the celebrities that I met and ones I knew who I could have met. The staff was very down to earth and they made me feel at home. The cons were of course no pay just the experience and that I would say was very much so an experience.

My current job makes me feel secure. It is a Fortune 500 company that experiences significant growth on an annual basis. The company offers work/life balance and great benefits. Management shows concern for its team and assist when needed for guidance. The company and the office is culturally diverse with respect for others differences. I love the team work of my colleagues the most. If I had to dislike anything, it would be the location of the office due to the high crime area. Overall, I would recommend this company as a great place to work and have fun as well.

I loved interning at complex, but I did not experience any growth.  A lot of times, I felt as if I was wasting time at one of the biggest media companies to be made.  They did not have a lot of work for me!  Management was so loose that I could practically be out for an hour and nobody would notice. 

The work culture is youthful, but a lot of people had a certain level of prestige in their jobs.  Which kinda led to inequality and mistreatment.  Nothing was abusive, but as an intern I felt disrespected at moments.

The people I worked with were amazing. Very fast pace work environment. A lot of creative freedom, but it didn't last long.  
Unfortunately management is really bad, almost 2 faced. They portray themselves as nice and humble in the initial interactions, but the longer you stay the worst it gets. HR is awful, not helpful in the least.  And the hire ups leading the company, don't take responsibility for their actions. My manager wouldn't even talk to me, and would blow up on different teammates through out the day.

I freelanced for Complex for about a year. I had worked for them previously off and on, and this gig was a bit more regular. Given my experience (which is hefty), I was able to negotiate my salary. When management changed, my new manager wanted to give me minimum wage, despite the fact my articles consistently performed in the top tier.

Other downers: Little communication or room for growth as a freelancer.

friendly people and well organized...multi-cultural...good energy vibes and smiling faces...some people are not so friendly but management had a good way of dealing with that...this is something I do in my spare time and since im just an advisor a simple phone call is required

Complex will force you to step up your quality of work. At Complex, you will foster close relationships with your immediate editors who push you further with each post. The editors are extremely open minded and allow each writer to maintain their voice.

There is no typical day at work, there is a huge variety of projects that everyone juggles, this place of work is not meant for everyone. You really have to have a passion for the culture industry to survive

Worked 20+ hours/day with no support or direction on projects.
No one is given raises or bonuses in the video dept. Revolving door  for jobs, no reason to stay as the longer you stay the worse you are treated.

the company has many different job opportunities.  there are opportunities in production, sales  marketing, production planning hourly team members have the opportunity to promote to management
