Cons
New management that has promised positive turnaround yet we continue to see lower performance. Everyone is being patient to see if we will see improvements in the next year, but our stocks say otherwise. Also, taking away Christmas closure was not a good idea. It was a forceful move to have everyone spend all of their vacation so that if anyone gets let go or leaves voluntarily, the company doesnt have to pay out as much. Christmas time is slow so making everyone come into the office with bad attitude during the holidays just makes people unhappier. All the employees got through the tough times with the turnover thinking that the benefits received such as the Christmas closure outweighed the fear of getting let go as result of the management firing people with no mercy... But we continue to keep seeing these benefits being taken away, which makes us more inclined to leave when approached by the recruiters. Many more companies are starting to close during the Christmas time because they realize there's not much work to do. Demand Media seems to be regressing...
