Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
What do you like best about the leadership team?
Work hard and Play hard.
I love working with this company! My first event was September 2018 and I was helping to promote a cellphone service provider. There were several opportunities with them and different tasks and a variety of ways to promote products: brand ambassador, street team, flyering, demos, etc. I enjoy it!

What does the leadership team need to get better at?
leading the people it leads
They are terrible at everything.
The HR team has strong concepts, but poor execution. They are leaders only by name, but not in action.
Listening to the employees, treating them like creative professionals instead of a commodity, creating a positive work environment.
Review from Marketing Dept
They need to get better at everything except playing buddy with other bosses.
What is the best part about your compensation package?
There was not a "best part" to compensation. Annual review and bonuses were not provided to most staff in HR.
Health and dental are better than all previous companies I have worked at
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
because they make me drink my urine
GMR pays lower than all comparable companies.
More of it would be helpful
GMR is not a creative environment. During the time I was there I watched the best people leave or get fired and new people come and go. The value of creative ideas is championed there in word only. The value of down and dirty and under budget at all costs is the real driver.
Review from Marketing Dept
I would like to earn more hours with the company so that I would be able to qualify for additional benefits.

What are some of the best things about your team?
My team is very diverse and though individualistic, we all tend to have a synergized outlook on tasks on hand. I enjoy our get togethers and meetings just as much as executing events and communicating with customers.
Review from Marketing Dept
All very creative, fun, innovative and collaborative
Review from Marketing Dept
willingness to go beyond job titles and help others when in need
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
No one could truly rely on each other and no one was allowed to help the other person. Everything was micromanaged. Anything shared with one person in confidence was spread to others, including your boss.
My main team is great.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Free beer and parties are fine, but they spend too much on partying instead of compensating employees.
Fun physical environment to work in
They like having fun. It's a great marketing tool for recruitment.
That they try in words to create a positive environment. They take effort to be inclusive to people of all colors and creeds.
Review from Marketing Dept
Working with face to face interactions and working off the energy of others around me.
Review from Marketing Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Positive leadership who puts employees first. Employees first clients second. unclear what leaderships goals are. We hear about new business wins and c-suite leaders in the news. What about your employees on the ground at events making this successful? The family feel has been replaced by greed
What did you like most about the interview process?
I enjoyed the personable personalities that I encountered. It helped me to relax and to be myself and I really enjoyed that.
Review from Marketing Dept

Review from Marketing Dept
The company culture and the people I work with are second to none.
Review from Marketing Dept
hearing feedback from clients on programs
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Poor management, poor onboarding. They care if you fit in, not if you do good work.
If an individual did something wrong, it was only attributed to the individual. The leaders did not want to admit that they may have set their employees up for failure (i.e: failing to manage appropriately).
The problem is that the finance and client service department runs the show. The creative team is treated like short order cooks.
Review from Marketing Dept
Put your people first. Start questioning the leaders more. There is a lack of integrity across the board which is part of the political games.
