Good Company but needs better vision to navigate in media industry - Anonymous employee LabX Media Group Employee Review

This is a fairly small company with a lot of growth and change, and there can be opportunities for promotion and to enact changes within brands there. Many positions are remote, and remote employees are well-integrated into the company.

Salaries tend to be low, and a promise made by HR during the hiring process regarding benefits was not kept. Some members of upper management are, frankly, not very good at their jobs or even especially knowledgeable about the industries of the brands they manage, which can lead to terrible decisions being made. The organization talks a good game about valuing people, but has laid off high-performing staff without any attempt to instead move them into other positions within the company.

There aren't that many jobs in media so get 'em while they're available, I guess.

Management is wall-to-wall scumbags. Contrary ideas will not be heard and upper levels of the company will lie, undercut employees, and fire them without a second thought. Widespread rumors that the entire staff of one of the magazines LabX owns was canned or forced out under the guise of "falling traffic" but it was really because the director didn't like them.
