Nice people, Private Equity Poison - Anonymous employee LS Direct Marketing Employee Review

Compensation was below industry standards, which made it hard to feel fully valued over time. Leadership tended to be quite secretive, and communication from the top down was often limited or unclear, which created uncertainty. With the involvement of a private equity firm, the focus noticeably shifted away from innovation and long-term vision in favor of short-term financial goals. That shift dampened a lot of the creative energy the company once had.
