Pros

Some good managers and team members

Cons

If you're looking for a career black hole to swallow your aspirations whole, Fourth is your one-way ticket to professional despair. This place makes Dante's Inferno look like a vacation brochure. Let's start with the corporate version of musical chairs they call mergers. One minute, you're settling into your cubicle, the next, you're packing up your desk because some exec decided to play God with your job security. Layoffs? Oh, they're as common as coffee stains on the break room carpet. The company has a penchant for axing entire teams without so much as a farewell memo. Take the marketing department, for example. First, they had a team, then they didn't. And when they finally assembled a new crew, they dropped them like a hot potato for no apparent reason other than sheer incompetence at the top. The upper echelons seem to have a passion for turning the office into a revolving door of despair. Let's talk about the leadership within marketing, shall we? There's a certain micromanaging presence whose sole purpose seems to be breathing down your neck while contributing zilch to the actual work. Useless doesn't even begin to cover it. And don't even get me started on the fresh-faced recruits they keep hiring. Inexperienced, incompetent, and with a knack for meddling in everyone else's business, these rookies are like a swarm of locusts, devouring productivity in their wake. But hey, they're great at one thing: brown-nosing their way to the top. The cherry on top of this disaster sundae? A management team that couldn't navigate their way out of a paper bag with a map and a flashlight. They've perfected the art of blame-shifting, pointing fingers at the marketing department and anyone else within arm's reach for their own boneheaded decisions. In conclusion, Fourth isn't just a sinking ship—it's the Titanic, and you're the iceberg. Steer clear unless you're a glutton for punishment and enjoy watching your career circle the drain. Consider yourself warned.

A Blood Sucking Organization

Pros

most employees and team have good people.

Cons

The company is SELLING and is not telling their employees, though making vast changes that have inherently ruined lives. The CEO Clinton and newly hired CRO Curt, do not care about anything other than making the company look appealing financially to investors. The CRO, Curt made calls to managers to fire a large amount of people the third last day of the month. This with no warning, no premise, and not a care to single-handedly put employees and their families at risk. Managers are doing anything they can to keep their jobs, through lying, manipulating, and down talking each other and reps. No matter what your standing is as a rep, your job is at risk. Most rep's don't even last a year.

Some interesting comments and observations. I dont agree with all of it but will continue to reflect - particularly on the points of a top heavy structure and internal promotions. I do feel we could be better here and whilst we do make strong efforts to equip new managers we can do better in 2019. Be interested in talking to you more about your thoughts here if you fancy it. Take care, Jon Walder
