Cons
*Edit: Please take note that when there is a bad review, there is a 5-star just a few days after, as they try to compensate for the bad review, instead of addressing the issues.
Worked at TRS Healthcare as part of the marketing team. When the company decided to bring marketing “in house,” they built a team of talented professionals across web, social, content, and analytics. Unfortunately, once the new website was launched and met leadership’s short-term goals, nearly the entire team was let go.
Anyone who works in marketing knows that real results take time. It takes months, and often years, to build campaigns, develop trust with internal teams, and collect meaningful stories. Just as we were starting to make progress, the rug was pulled out from under us.
The biggest challenge was that leadership did not trust the expertise of the people they hired. Strategic recommendations were often dismissed in favor of personal opinions or gut feelings, which made it hard to create consistent, effective work. The teams also worked in silohs.
There are some genuinely kind and hardworking people at TRS, but the culture is heavily top-down, and other reviews describing it as a boys' & girls' club are not far off. Leadership decisions often feel disconnected from both employees and long-term strategy.
To make matters worse, the layoffs happened right after they made us all fly into a company conference in Arkansas, which emphasized teamwork, growth, and exciting changes ahead. The timing was frustrating, to say the least.
