      A complete lack of transparency, good leadership, and very cliquey

      Pros

      The culture was the honestly the only redeeming quality I found at the company and was a main driver on why I stayed as long as I did.

      Cons

      • Lack of transparency by management, which has lead to many questionable decisions and regression of the company. • No clear direction or vision during my tenure there and speaking with current employees reaffirms those feelings even more. • Lackluster health benefits • If you weren't part of the "inner circle" you were treated like a second class citizen in many regards. • The partners have a very skewed concept of reality and think they are taking care of their employees. When in reality they are severely underpaying many of them for the work that they do.

      Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry that your experience was not in line with what we strive to give our employees, and hopefully we can shed some light on some of these points. There have been ups and downs over the years, as in any company, and while we wouldn’t consider it regression, we have reduced our staff in multiple departments as a part of a strategic shift towards our Media Services business. The results have been overwhelmingly positive and the business is breaking all time sales records while delivering very strong results for our agency partners. We believe we’re on the right track, have a fantastic team, and are already seeing the results of some of our strategic decisions. We are likewise always evaluating our compensation package (which includes quarterly bonus structure, a generous time off policy, Fit Perk, and other benefits), and we will continue to monitor and adjust this for all employees so we can remain competitive and fair. Again, we thank you for your feedback as we can learn from these points. We hope you have found a great new fit and wish you the best in your new role.

      Lack of respect for employees

      Business outlook

      Pros

      For the time they had a descent product, and helpful mid-management. They offer many perks to their home office and enjoy taking their teams our for outings quite regularly. That makes for a nice after work bonding experience.

      Cons

      Internally the company moves at a snail's pace. Take's forever to respond to their employees, and even worse their clients. Upper management does not really care for employees, hence the hire turnover rate. They say they hire at a lower rate because they hire and train and help gain knowledge and experience, but even the experienced reps for several years receive minimal compensation. They also do not know how to evaluate the growth of business correctly, and ended up hiring too many people, and then abruptly firing them, whether they were valuable and productive or not. Some of these terminated employees moved/relocated from out of state for new positions, and had no other opportunities in the middle of Texas.

      Pros

      Company Culture is their primary strength: casual attire, flex hours, wfh wednesdays, stocked kitchen and beverage fridge, tons of events, etc.

      Cons

      No company is perfect, which we all realize and unfortunately Q1Media is no exception. The top 3 areas are: - Lack of growth: Management/HR have their favorites and its seen without question. The majority of deserving employees are constantly overlooked for promotions, bonuses, raises, etc. They are very misleading and spout false promises to employees on the above items. - Lack of professionalism: There are some managers who could stand to attend a leadership class (or 5) and HR leads in unprofessional examples. - Lack of Company Direction: Its a competitive industry and Q1 seems to be falling behind. Changes are constant and inconsistent.

      Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. "No company is perfect" is a great statement and one we certainly agree with. We want to take some time to address the negative points listed in the reviews. Training - YES! We realize that our training module is lacking and are currently working internally to develop a full scale training program, starting with our managers all the way down to our newest recruits. A company is only as strong as it's people and we want to give our folks the best foot forward. This ties into the promotions and investing in people as well, as we will be grooming our future leaders. While we don't "promise" bonuses and raises annually (and no company should), we do our best to try and reward - both in a monetary and non-monetary sense - solid performance. We have recently made improvements to this program and will keep working to improve. We have partnered with a third party agency to allow us to research and study compensation trends and norms within the workplace. Thank you again, all feedback from past and present employees provides us with an opportunity to grow.
