Think Twice

Pros

Pretty good benefits, mostly great people to work with, semi-rewarding industry, and a great office location a few steps away from Trader Joe's.

Cons

There are a couple key players that are poisoning the environment for the rest of the company. Since these two have joined, the turnover has been over 10 people in less than 3 years...yet the owner doesn't seem to think this is an issue. These players are degrading, unreasonable, and as you can probably guess, extremely difficult to work with. I highly recommend thinking twice before accepting a position at this company.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and thoughts about your experience at Forester Media. We hope to learn and improve by receiving this feedback and making adjustments as necessary. We believe that the department you're speaking of has been re-structured, and the high turnover you spoke of is no longer happening. Thank you again for your feedback.

Pros

Good pay and equipment. A few good members, and interesting content for the most part.

Cons

The dysfunction and incompetence allowed, and even nurtured, in this company create strong tension, redundant work, and hostility between departments. The first red flag was the excessive discouragement of lawsuits in the new employee paperwork. The next red flag was being yelled at by a staff member like we were in-laws (on my first week of the job). There is very little team morale and too much inappropriate gossip, including from "HR." The final red flag was getting grief for missing work due to emergency circumstances.

Horrible Management and Work Culture

Pros

The five editors on staff are very knowledgable.

Cons

Very poor management. The communication between and within departments is ruptured, divisive and non cooperative. Employees groan about working there and no one is happy. Processes are inefficient; employees are just spinning the wheels. Manipulative office politics in play. Coworkers and management will throw you under the bus at any chance they get to save themselves.
