Going downhill fast

Anonymous employee

CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

1) Compensation (salary) 2) Good co workers (non executives)

Cons

1) CEO thinks he's back on Wall Street destroying Lehman Brothers again. he spends money like the company has it. As soon as he realizes the stock price won't double per his contract, he is gone. 2) The solution to all problems is a RIF. There were 3 major RIF's in 3 years. Revenue and GP are the problem..not overhead. 3) The executive team didn't learn the business when they came on board. Their egos got in the way of learning what the real problems were with the company. 4) Way too many over priced employees brought in (All buddies of the CEO) who contribute nothing. 5) Executives are given bonuses when staff gets nothing 6) CEO goes on vacation during an earnings call. 7) Benefits are the most expensive I have ever seen. I paid about $600k per month for the cheapest plan.

Web Content Manager

Business Outlook

Pros

Fellow employees are supportive. Immediate manager supportive. Actual nature of work was engaging, exciting and cutting edge. I learned a lot about good content management of a website and picked up many tricks for good business practices in general. Most certainly a learning experience. I look at this job as a boot camp. Some place you go for a short time, work like a dog, bleed, sweat and cry, then leave for something better where you'll have respect.

Cons

Very little recognition for accomplishments. No raise to speak of in the over 2 1/2 years I was there, despite the fact I was in the top 10% for performance on my team. Worked hard and long and it was never good enough. Upper management completely disengaged from workers. HR has no presence in workers lives. Managers are quick to point out mistakes and broadcast them. Yet rarely give credit for good work. Zero trust from management. Though I performed admirably up to the end, I always felt I was one step away from the chopping block. Lived every day in fear of what nasty feedback I'd receive.

Horrible corporate culture

Business Outlook

Pros

1. Middle managers are great - supportive and proactive in career planning, 2. work-life balance

Cons

1. Horrible corporate culture, offices/cubicles at corp HQ and Market St in Philly are 50%+ vacant, 2. perennially in cost cutting mode - in my 7 yrs there, experienced salary reductions, withdrawal of water coolers, no more color printing, reduction of mobile phone allowance, etc, 3. senior mgmt.'s inability to stick with a business plan for more than 2 years and therefore unable to successfully implement to drive growth, 4. Company has been implementing tactics as strategy, 5. benefits are quite expensive
