The Perfect Balance

Pros

The company I wish I worked for sooner! Best Version Media has given me an income and work-life balance that the corporate world promised but never delivered. BVM has the perfect mixture of support and training without micro-managing, and the value of their product to local businesses is top-class!

Cons

This is as close to owning your own business as you will ever get--- what you make of it is up to you! No health benefits. SO just like a business owner, you will have to set up your own health insurance, retirement account, etc, don't let it intimidate you!

Thanks so much for sharing your feedback about the BVM Publisher role! It's an amazing opportunity for self-starters to start their own business alongside endless training, resources and support.

We proudly offer one of the most impressive commission structures in the industry. We work with hundreds of entrepreneurs who have found success with us through commitment and hard work, but we understand that the Publisher role may not be for everyone.

Pros

Some of the people who I worked with were nice and professional.

Cons

When it comes to the cons, there are many of them. First of all, someone looking at this organization to build a career should avoid it at all costs. A job description posted on a job board should not be believed. I went in thinking the role would be marketing and content focused (hence why I applied to be a content specialist), but when I was brought onboard, I quickly learned it was more of a customer service and quality assurance role where I would review articles written by other people and then have to make phone calls to publishers around the U.S. and Canada letting them know why content had to be removed. Furthermore, these publishers were often times rude and abusive to internal employees (they were more like franchisees). The internal management would not support the lower-level employees either because the publishers are these little magazines made them money. This was always discussed internally where my direct co-workers, who had more years within the organization, would let me know what publishers were okay versus ones that would yell and degrade people. It was unnecessary drama and created a toxic environment. Secondly, management was non-existent. My direct supervisor was only on-site (everyone else had to work in the office) I believe 3 or 4 times in the span of an entire quarter. No leadership. In times I wanted to work from home, I was told I couldn't. It was a double standard. Thirdly, when it came to Glassdoor and Google Reviews, I was specifically directed by management, who were directed by the executive team, to go out and post fake, 5-star reviews to inflate the review scores. It's dishonest to how the organization actually functions.

We’ve proudly been recognized as a Great Place to Work every year since 2015. Our Content Specialists assist with all facets of the department, which includes reviewing our monthly magazines, but they also write articles, help with trainings and webinars, and work closely with our Content Team to ensure project deadlines are met. It’s a wonderful opportunity for people with strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate with various departments. While we’re disappointed to hear about this individual’s experience, we're also excited for our continued success with the awesome team we have in place.
