Design department is awesome, upper management is poor - Designer New View Gifts Employee Review

New View is under a new senior management team as of January of 2016. We have energetic managers and team members.

Fast paced, not right for everyone.

- design team is wonderful. nice and work hard, occasional lunch or happy hour outings - job security - room for growth because people keep leaving (if you ask for it) - they push for in office but are usually desperate enough to allow remote or hybrid

- they keep the team short staffed because they hate even an hour of "down time", you'll be constantly busy and burnt out, heavy use of stock and AI to keep up with the workload - you have to fight for any raises, if you don't ask you don't get one. and they have the money (look at their cars and multiple vacation homes) - replace seniors with juniors to save money and lose industry knowledge - lack of file organization and standardized practices (because of high turnover) - overtime only compensated with "comp PTO" which you have to keep track of yourself - bare minimum of federal holidays (8) - no PTO use the first 6 months, also first 3 months started at a salary -$5000 of your offer (not sure they still do this) - on PTO, it's accrued but you can over draw but you would have to pay the difference if you left while in the negative. but they don't have to pay out if you're in the positive. also no roll over year to year, use it or lose it - most basic health care options. terrible prices for spouse or family bundles - CEO (John) is subtly sexist to female employees and rude to overseas factory workers - saw 2 people be hired and let go after 3 weeks because they didn't actually check they had the skills necessary for the job and then didn't provide any training to get them up to speed - once you put in a 2 weeks notice upper management acts as if you don't exist
