Bustle reviews about "team"

Salary for the position needs to increase. HR is lazy.

BDG owns several digital media brands, but heavily silos brands and departments so communication and transparency are heavily restricted. While the opportunity to work creatively with an impassioned team is great, I've never felt so mismanaged and misunderstood by higher-ups at a company. There have been four rounds of layoffs in the last 6 months while CEO Bryan Goldberg (a man who willingly bought one of Napoleon's hats for $1.4m at the end of 2021) has bragged on podcasts and in the media about the company being in a great place financially. Management has also repeatedly delayed and refused negotiations with the BDG union, which has been attempting to negotiate a fair contract for employees for over two years now. BDG offers a lot of great opportunities on paper, but from my experience... they are not at all worth it.

Not much upwards mobility as a part time employee.

-Micromanagement like never seen before -The majority of the medical insurance cost is on the employee and it is the bare minimum coverage -They owe over 4 million dollars on their two NYC locations -There have been at least 10 rounds of lay offs in the last 2 years but put more work on the teams that are still there - most people are working 2-4 jobs as one person. -They treat the Union differently then the rest of the company -There are no goals, no mission, and absolutely no communication from the 4 leaders that are left. There is no CRO, no employment attorney -Sense of urgency like it's a hospital when in reality, they are just throwing parties instead of using that money to pay their debt, save jobs, run a business -If you give any feedback, there is retaliation every. single time. -There are men currently working there that have misogynistic (ESPECIALLY the CEO) and have had many women fired specifically. -If you are a parent or expecting mother, expect to hear "If you get fired, thats your own fault for being pregnant" from the CEO. -If you bring up concerns, they will rip you to shreds and then months later asked why you never said anything It's a very very hostile and toxic work environment and many people quit without jobs lined up, like I did.

Work culture was not for me. Lack of diversity within company even though it's heavily pushed for in our content. There seems to be a fake sense of urgency for all the wrong reasons, people just trying to protect their place in the company rather than truly advocate for their team- as a result there is no opportunity for career growth.

I'm fully remote so would love to see everyone more!

Stressful sales goals that the company felt with

instability in media field (not restricted to this company) poor project management team leaders uninterested in development of employees and give little constructive feedback impossible to know where you stand at any given moment very clique-y 'woke' in word but not in deed

Lack of opportunity for growth
