Can The Company Stoop Even Lower?

Pros

- Work from home - PTO is almost always approved - Make big commission for a few months out of the year if your client book is well established (hence the 2 stars) - Seasoned co-workers who provide support/encouragement. A small handful of great directors/managers that provide tremendous help. - Not "competitive" between salespeople. Everyone wants to see everyone succeed.

Cons

- You are a number and always will be a number your entire career here. - Zero future career path/raises even after getting high marks on yearly reviews or hitting your numbers. - Disorganized and dysfunctional management. Let hundreds established workers go one month, few months later offers "referral compensation" if someone they hire that you referred makes X amount of dollars in their first few months. Most likely because they can hire them in at a lower salary. - Has asked employees to reach out to friends/family/professional connections for client referrals, which in turn you'll be compensated extra if the client orders with Vericast. - Removed 401k company match program of 3% beginning of 2023. Has since brought it back, but only 1.5%. Our EVP Chief Revenue Officer stated, "If you want the 401k match back, you guys just need to sell more." - Last 2 years have seen a 30-35% overall quota increase for most to all salespeople, regardless of client book size. - Changed monthly commission payouts to once a quarter commission payouts. - Have bullied their clients (if they didn't end up leaving) to a 15-20% product rate increase since the beginning of 2023, and if the client threatens to walk, Vericast said let them, but you're still expected to make up that loss revenue because there is no quota relief given.

Pros

As you’ve likely seen, great people focused on really trying to do great things. I made a career, raised a family, and accomplished life dreams... by working for this company. Yes, there was stress, and frustration too (see below). I still believe there is a long future with Print... digital is needed, but not the only answer. As I once heard a Harland Clarke exec say ‘if people think digital is the only future, they don’t understand how profitable print is.’ I miss the people I worked with... all but a couple.

Cons

The shift in leadership a couple years ago, to put more pressure on making digital the future, clearly didn’t work. The big mistake happened years earlier by developing a full, separate digital division versus having it under the same umbrella. But once that leadership shift happened, that ‘focus’ resulted with many key associates displaced, which led to confusion and anxiety. Basically, all print based leaders were displaced with digital leaders. And since it appears that strategy didn’t work, the CEO was relieved of duty in late 2020. Some strategies make sense but are so rushed, they don’t produce results and pull the company back. The culture has always been that restructures occur every 1-2 years. Not fun, but you got used to it. Should this be an instance of trying to many things and changing too many times? Perhaps. I support strategic change. But if not done correctly, it’s devastating to the core of the company... the incredible associates.

Pros

Good work life balance for the most part

Cons

Where do I begin? In my first 6 months there were 4 major rounds of layoffs. I had 3 new COOS and 2 new CEOs, and the 2nd ceo made it apparent he did not want to be there. Changed the name of their product / service 3 different times in hopes of rebranding. Had 2 new directors. The people that weren’t laid off, all quit. Including me. This place is cancer. There’s no structure for your career development, and no actual job description that would be transferable in any industry. They’re a leading company in a dying industry. If you’re interviewing with this company don’t waste your time. You’ll either quit or be laid off. Spend your time with a company who’s not in debt, has a goal, has a plan, and treats their employees with respect. I took a $15k+ paycut just to get out of that toxic environment.
