Nice People, But No Idea How to Manage Work

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

People are generally very kind Benefits and salaries are competitive Committed to DEI principles and practices

Cons

Teamwork is an alien concept; everyone just kind of does what they want, which results in a ton of extra work and miscommunication. I was involved in a project that spanned 3 of the 4 locations, and it was one of the worst experiences of my career because the management was so poor. Technology structures are lightyears behind other comparable print shops. Basic server structures and security practices are some of the worst I've seen.

Immature Company with Poor Leadership

Manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Many of the "individuals" are kind & caring people. If you're below management level, there's a pretty strong community feeling. HR doesn't know what they're doing, making it really easy to enact changes (read into that).

Cons

The Imagine Group as a whole has yet to figure out how to operate in the modern era of business, in both business processes and culture. The site & enterprise-level leaders are extremely reactive, overly involved, and operate under a "Good Old Boys Club" mentality. Unless you think like them and brown-nose your boss's boss, there's no growth opportunity. Leadership actively promotes Hero Complexes by praising those who sacrifice their personal lives & families to correct an issue that was publicly chosen to be ignored. But they never prioritize any long-term or mid-term efforts. All that matters here is firefighting the current issue to meet the On-Time Delivery metric, which isn't tracked consistently. The CEO, is a micro-manager who causes more problems for his teams by being indecisive, overly involved, and unable to provide a constant direction for the organization. At the time of writing, Upper Leadership is planning to do layoffs in Q1 of 2026.
