All about the numbers and appearance of a successful company. They don't care if salespeople aren't ready and prepared to launch the magazines, they don't care if they're not making money, they just want the numbers to look good. Publishers are jumping ship like crazy.
Wages are awful, not market value. Health insurance is bad.
Employee turnover is getting worse (no surprise based on the wages).
Salespeople are allowed to be rude and throw tantrums to get their way, no back-up from higher-ups.
