Sorry it wasn't a good experience for you. I hope you took the opportunity to come to your manager or to me and my team with these issues, while you were still with the company. We take concerns over ethics very seriously, including when those concerns involve a manager. Our managers are very involved with their teams, including via seating arrangements as you point out. To us that's about transparency and engagement, and reinforcing the idea that managers are fundamentally accountable to their teams. Our sales staff are valued contributors, and we provide training and support in numerous ways to ensure their success. Sorry to hear that you weren't able to make this a successful role for yourself, but thanks for the time you gave us and for the candid feedback.

I wish you'd had a better impression of our company. It's a shame that you didn't use (or didn't benefit from) the many support systems in place to ensure that our sales staff have what they need to perform well, earn well, and build their careers with the company. If at any point you had visited me with your concerns while still employed with us, I would have taken them seriously and tried to help.

Pros

Trader Interactive offers great pay and benefits. The management structure is pretty lean without too many levels of hierarchy. Open door policy is for real, and we are able to express our thoughts without fear of repercussions. TI is moving toward leading trends in the digital space vs. duplicating other 3rd party sites as a result of our recent purchase and restructuring.

Cons

We are constantly transforming as the digital marketing landscape evolves. Frequent leadership changes over the past several years as we adapt to these changes. For some, this may be a plus, but for others may make this company a poor fit for those who do not roll with change easily.

Thank you so much for the positive review and for sharing your impressions of the company at this point in time. You're correct that growth and transformation has been a huge part of our story, particularly in the last year. I appreciate the caveat around change management, and I do hope that otherwise talented people who may not "roll with change easily" stay on board with us, and understand that there will be some growing pains. We'll keep asking for input and holding that Open Door open, and please use all means available, including dropping by my office or sending a chat ;) to let me know how you think we're doing. And, where we can improve!
