“Growing pains” isn’t an excuse for poor professionalism

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

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

Cons

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.

What a joke

Pros

Someone has to write enough reviews to balance the fake positive ones written by staff under duress.

Cons

"Arrogant leadership" is an understatement. Better to describe this as a bastion of pomposity, as chronic underachievers get high on their own supply, sniffing the methane emitting from their backsides. Sure, they make ads for vaccuum cleaners. How impressive.

Tattoo Projects Response

We appreciate your perspective, and thanks for sharing. Considering your comment about Hoover Vaccuum's, a client the agency had back in 2009, is it fair to assume this post relates to reviews from a previous ownership group? In 2021, a 100% new new partnership group has significantly improved diversity, added a 401k K, standardized PTO, quintupled revenue, doubled our staff size, created a paid-internship program, enabled paternity and maternity leaves, while also keeping the work quality high. We're far from perfect, but we're committed to incremental improvement. Feel free to swing by anytime, check out the new shop, and stay in touch.

Great place to grow

Pros

I’ve worked for both past and new owners for over 8 years collectively. Nothing but great things to say about the changes that have been occurring daily from a process and business stand-point. Leadership has also implemented an ample amount of paid time off, 401K plans, and they are more than willing to get you the tools you need to succeed both on a day-to-day, and a career-path basis. Culture has also changed in the agency since new leadership has taken lead. They look to make sure people don’t burn themselves out, all while keeping the quality, and standard of work high.  Working here provides opportunity to get your hands on both large and small clients. There is a strong sense of comradery, which fosters a supportive “team” mentality.

Cons

Ebbs and flows of marketing can lead to quick turn projects and a fast paced environment isn’t for everyone.

Thanks for the note. We appreciate the perspective, and your teamwork during the journey. Step-by-step improvements can feel like a grind. Here's to make big leaps in 2025.
