American City Business Journals Environment Employee Reviews

All
Positive
Constructive

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

People are kind and respectful to one another.

The restaurant food is decent

My direct team was amazing. The constant rotation of sales reps was awful, the publisher was nuts, corporate was blind to everything that was happening or pretended to be.

Everyone is really supportive and always working toward common goals.

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Many things need to change.

I'd have to say that mismanagement like this starts at the top and corrupts every level all the way down. I definitely do not feel comfortable speaking to the managerial chain all the way up. The few times I attempted, I was rudely told to "Mind my own business." So... Good luck with that!

More integrity. An end to all the nepotism. An HR department that actually has employees best interest in mind.

End the nepotism and consider merit
