Upper Management: Please take this to heart - Anonymous employee WestStar Multimedia Entertainment Employee Review

WestStar is a company that goes above and beyond for its employees. It’s a place that you can expect to work hard for you, if you work hard for them! I absolutely loved my time with WestStar and would highly recommend them. The salary & benefits are great. They also encourage a positive work environment, while offering opportunities to build your skill set to be the best that you can be.

What can I say? They’re amazing so there’s no need for this section.

Nothing positive. It will take a long time to get over the trauma caused here.

• Extremely toxic and hostile workplace • Yelling, raised voices, and hostile communication from leadership • Public reprimands and disproportionate reactions to routine mistakes • No formal onboarding, training, or documented processes • Expectations change constantly and are rarely communicated • Employees are expected to anticipate needs and rules that are never stated • Leadership mistakes are redirected onto staff rather than owned • Disorganized workflows with no clear approval paths • Culture of fear, not collaboration or trust • High levels of stress, burnout, and anxiety are normalized This is an emotionally unsafe workplace. Leadership relies on criticism, escalation, and intimidation instead of clear direction or coaching. Employees are frequently put in impossible situations. You are expected to deliver high-level work with little guidance, no clear priorities, and inconsistent feedback, then reprimanded when outcomes do not align with expectations that were never communicated. There is no consistent system for approvals, deadlines, or accountability. Work is often completed, revised, and revised again due to last-minute changes or leadership oversight. When issues arise, responsibility is rarely taken at the management level. Instead, blame is shifted downward, creating a culture where employees feel anxious, hypervigilant, and afraid to make even reasonable decisions. Feedback is not constructive or timely. It is reactive, emotional, and often delivered publicly or in a confrontational tone. Employees are not coached or supported to improve. They are criticized after the fact. Over time, this erodes confidence and morale and leads to emotional exhaustion. Despite being a media and marketing company, there is little operational structure. Processes are undocumented or change without notice. Employees are expected to “just know” how things should be done, even when rules differ week to week. Asking clarifying questions is not encouraged and can be met with frustration or hostility. If you value mental health, psychological safety, professional growth, or basic respect, this environment will be deeply challenging. Turnover is not surprising in a culture where fear replaces leadership and chaos replaces process.
