Touch Of Modern Reviews

1.Complete and utter lack of professionalism from founders and upper management which trickles down and creates a standard for operating that is often void of common respect. 2. Whether you like it or not there's a MAJOR perception that recruiting/promotion preferences still go towards the asian ethnicities. No matter how many meetings you have it'll only look like damage control because the day to day behaviors still remain. While I do not entirely agree that there is in fact any malpractice here, when the perception exists it festers into something ugly that's a disservice to everyone that works there. 3. HR gets a gold star for effort but simply isn't hitting the mark. It's painfully obvious that no one in the executive structure has implemented a personnel strategy that achieves results to scale AND optimization. - Job titles being used to promote individuals have no industry relevance making your growth worthless to other companies when you're ready to move on. - Performance management standards and training therein for newly promoted individuals is either non existent or deplorable. Your experience working in one department can be vastly different than working in another. -Really lacking maturity in the production coordinator realm. Just because someone is in the 30-40's (or god forbid their 50's) doesn't mean they're off-culture. We're hiring for the culture we have instead of the culture we need. -We hired and promoted HR professionals that basically got thrown in as Generalists despite not having the education or experience that the organization requires much like the industry standard "HR Business Partner". These people will one day make a great ones (if they wanted) but again, without anticipating the growth requirements for the business we asked more of people than we should have and quality ultimately suffers. 4. If you work in any form of production or creative for the company it is entirely thankless and your experience as an employee with be nothing like the rest of the company. Sales related departments will always win over in the daily experience and the tenured individuals that recognized that and tried to tip the scales are long gone and the morale of ones still there are wearing frighteningly thin. 5. Couples working cross functionally is highly problematic. It's really great to have that "love" in the air but no one's personal life should have any bearing in my day to day operations.

Touch Of Modern is one of the most unhealthy work environments I have ever encountered in my career. I witnessed three women bring forward a sexual harassment case, and it took six months to have the offender terminated, meanwhile, they fired other employees for "not having a positive attitude" or "under performance." These girls were traumatized by the situation, and it seemed like HR did nothing to help them. Furthermore, weekly happy hours led to a complete lack of professionalism by upper management, where they would frequently become intoxicated, to the point of saying inappropriate comments or even throwing up. My impression from the majority of upper management was mostly disappointment and dismay at their behavior for most of my time at this company. Furthermore, there were so many bizarre situations; for instance spouses or significant others were hired even though it didn't seem like they had the qualifications to do their jobs. Another scenario--a few employees were terminated for "bringing down company morale," but they managed to keep everyone who would go out on breaks and smoke Marajuana or go to their cars and drink alcohol before returning to work. There isn't enough space in this box to recount the negative experiences I witnessed at this company.
