One of the better places I've worked.

Pros

Benefits were good; health insurance, vision, dental, 401(k), free bagels in the morning, free coffee & cocoa all day/night, 25-cent sodas. Doing work for some of your favorite musicians is always a plus.

Cons

Optical media is in its twilight, cutbacks and layoffs are commonplace. Employee morale is nothing like it used to be.

Optical media is indeed a mature product, and as such we have been adjusting as a company for the past decade. We have an exciting growth brand in BookBaby, and a number of team members have moved from Disc Makers to BookBaby as work has shifted. Plus we're pursuing a number of other growth opportunities. We have also continued to focus on staff training and development, and on providing opportunities for advancement, and many of our team members have moved into other positions and gotten promotions in the past year alone. As far as the suggestion for me to get my hands dirty some more... point taken. After 10 years of being CEO there's always room for improvement. I'll work on that. Thanks for the feedback.

Good place for a job. Not a career.

Good culture of employees. Relaxed atmosphere.

Cons

Worked in a call center with lots of oversight. Minimum vertical or lateral mobility.

As the department where most of our new hires start, our contact center is indeed fairly structured. After all, this is the training ground for new team members, and it's where we pull from to fillother positions in the company. People who do good work usually have opportunities to move fairly quickly to other areas of the company, or to provide leadership and training in the contact center. Half of our team members are here over 10 years. I believe that that speaks volumes of the positive work environment we have here, and of ample career opportunities for individuals who would like to help musicians, authors, and filmmakers make a living doing what they're passionate about. Thanks for the feedback. Tony van Veen - CEO
