Lamar Advertising reviews

Local management team is a disaster. The corporate culture must teach local managers to lead by intimidation otherwise certain individuals would no longer be working there. Even after multiple complaints and an HR investigation, senior management remains in place.....hmmmmm. Have seen many highly qualified and successful reps leave for 1 reason only; management

Working at Lamar lacked: 1. Leadership - manager did not have 4-year degree or managerial training in the Graphic Design field. In particular, my direct manager was a bit immature. 2. Worker Morale - many workers were negative, dissatisfied with management, or egotistical. 3. Worker Motivation - benefits and advanced positions were unfairly appropriated. Among lower workers, there seemed to be a distrust for management. Rewards for a job well done were often not much more than an "atta-boy" e-mail shot around to everyone in the office. 4. Teamwork - Competition among designers often inhibited designers' ability to rely on one another for thoughtful critique of their work. 5. The Work Itself - This is *not* work in a graphic design studio, it is an *advertisement design* job in which designers make billboards per the Sales Rep's direct instructions. Other projects were hard to come by (i.e.: logo design, poster or flyer design, etc.) and often given to managers.
