Originally, I wrote I lovely little review about my experience at Village Green as soon as I left the company in early 2015. Luckily, I got a new job downtown (Village Green's office is ratchet), but a few months later I was approached by VG to have an opportunity to be a reelancer because they obviously needed help. During the process, they flipped the card on ME with how I left the company - by respectfully quitting, which they knew all along but claimed to have JUST FOUND OUT when they asked me to be a freelancer 4 months after my departure. Management was playing games and wanted me to delete my previous Glassdoor review, which I did, because I thought I wanted to work as a freelancer with them. As soon as I deleted it, they went silent, so here we are again!
Besides the high turnover (I've seen two head of departments fired and pretty much 80% turnover within the department itself), lack of creativity, lack of leadership, lack of professionalism and non-exsistant career growth, it's a good place to learn what NOT to do when you're running a business and what to look out for when you are interviewing elsewhere. If employees look sickly, miserable and start drama from nothing, it means that the culture and work/life balance are definitely not working. It's a black hole of disrespect, criticizing feedback and a digression of talent as a designer.
This is the only thing I've ever actually quit on-the-spot in my entire life. Run.
