Pros

Great staff! They are easy to work with and everyone helps each other out. Lots of talented people.

Cons

The CEO Chris Force goes through people like crazy. He swears at his employees and belittles them in front of others. He is the perfect example of the workplace bully. He is unprofessional and talks unkind about each employee to other employees.

Pros

Got the chance to work with some creative & talented people- but I doubt any of them will still be there by the time you read this.

Cons

-Management - the lack of. No guidance, no training or coaching offered. -No communication between departments. This often results in making false and unattainable promises to the client. -No HR department to rely on. -Threatening environment (from CEO). His management techniques seem to be solely based on aggression and intimidation. -This job takes advantage of the allure of the magazine industry to creative job seekers. Past employees have had masters, art degrees and creativity - and were often lead to believe their talents would be utilized beyond selling ads with false promises. -Unrealistic goals. -Dishonest sales practices: customers do not receive what they are agreeing to pay for, prices are quoted at random. -No follow up with past clients. Making relationships with clients isn't at all valued. -No chance for growth or promotion - if new positions arise they will not hire within.

Pros

Friendly co-wokers, normal hours, casual dress (does not make up for the extremely low morale)

Cons

No structure or support, CEO incredibly unprofessional, no one is valued, people are being fired/quitting daily, I would absolutely NOT recommend the company to anyone, I have no hope for the company in the next year, if it even still exists in a year.
