It's NOT a good company - Printing Press Operator DIY Media Group Employee Review

      Pros

      Hours are abundant if you want them.

      Cons

      There is a high amount of nepotism and favortism in this company. Employees are also underpaid. They will hound you to work overtime, too. Often times will ask you to work weekends. If you tell them NO, they'll accept it, but you can tell they get upset by it when you don't. I worked my butt off for this company. There is a huge lack of communication amongst management & employees. I would not recommend this workplace to anyone. They don't even stand by the core values that are posted on the walls as you enter the building. I was bullied into leaving my position. They gave me no other choice but to walk out and leave. A year and a half of my service in the middle of a pandemic no less.

      The interesting thing is that your feedback is so counter to how we pride ourselves to be operating our company. We communicate transparently from the top down -- every team member gets a monthly update from me on how the company is doing, what we're working on, and where we're going. Are there opportunities to do better? Always, and we are always working on them. Do we have people (including managers) who have relatives who also work here? Sure, and we pride ourselves on the fact that our team members feel so good about working here that they recommend it to their relatives and friends. But we also have vetted practices in place that promotions are based on merit -- it's about how you perform, not who you are or who you know.

        Pros

        PTO, pay, insurance, profit gain bonuses, diversity. The CEO is a great leader by example and isn't intimidating. My team leader and manager are both awesome at communicating and not micromanaging. It feels good to be treated like I matter. The company is growing greatly and the opportunities are endless. Supporting the art world is what we do. It's an amazing feeling!

        Cons

        I honestly can not think of one thing that I do not like about DIY Media Group.

          Pros

          Wonderful down-to-earth people and great culture. Good work/life balance. Good benefits and PTO.

          Cons

          Not the best wages. The optical media part of the business is a very "mature" market, which limits overall company growth.

        Is it normal that after the pre-interview with HR, and after he mentioned I would have the first interview with manager xx, he just disappeared? I sent an email and called the office a week later but no answers from him. Is this the way KPMG recruit people? He also contacted me two months later from the day I applied.

        I've been on the job market for the past 4 months, facing challenges with securing interviews. I'm contemplating enrolling in Career Elevator (www.mycareerelevator.com) to refine my interview skills. Additionally, I'm intrigued by ApplyAll.com, a tool for automating job applications. Has anyone used either program to enhance their job search? I'm eager to learn more and would greatly appreciate any advice or insights you might have! Thank you in advance for your help!

        Manager

        Confused. Currently working for a mid sized firm with big clients but have been offered a role through my network for a relatively small startup but a with higher designation / lead role & similar salary to my existing pay. The new role is more strategy + lead but non technical while my current role is managerial level but more technical. If in my position, would you stay in your current role or take the new one?? Happy to answer follow up questions. Thank you.
