PostcardMania Employee Reviews about "no office politics"

This review was written 6 years ago. Im not sure how things were back then, but I can say we have a very stable and flourishing art department. The company has an overall retention rate, higher than the Florida average, US average and Industry average. We also just won Top 100 Workplace Award for the 8th year in a row. We are always up for ways to improve and we send out all staff surveys at least 4 times a year to get feedback and make changed. Im sorry you were unhappy when you worked here. I wish you all the best

Hello and thank you for giving us your feedback. We are always working to improve the company by doing internal surveys at least three times a year to hear what our employees have to say - and then actually changing things as a result. The reason we use statistics is so that production can be measured and no one is judged based on an opinion of a manager or co worker. The statistic measures the result of your work. We use that as our basis of giving raises and promotions as apposed to personal opinions. It has nothing to do with the type of people we are hiring. My opinion, is we have some pretty incredible people here. You mentioned that you experienced office politics and I wish I had known what happened so that I could address it when it happened. I will add that to our next survey and see if i can gather more info on that and take action. There is 1 VP that wears flannel shirts - you are right about that. I showed her your review right away so that she can address that point. We did have our best year in revenue last year and we are doing it again. We appreciate our sales staff dearly because it is them that brings in that revenue. And we hope that they feel it. I wish you all the best in your future career.

Hello. Your review was written 5 years ago, I wanted to update the response: The introductory training consists of approximately 3 hours per week of paid time. The introductory courses are: 1)Our CEO’s book about the basics of marketing - The Ultimate Postcard Marketing Success Manual and then 2) Breaking the Code - a course about efficiency, organization, job success, etc. Our management team is made up of 40+ individuals with various personal religious beliefs including Scientologists, Christians, other faiths. I don't know their religions because we don't care to know or ask, but i think there are about 7 or so that are. There is one married couple out of the team of 40+ managers and they have both been with the company for over 15 years. Our managers are stand out employees who, through hard work, proved that they were great individuals, and were promoted. We employ over 270 hard-working, unique individuals from all different backgrounds. We have an incredible staff, without whom we wouldn't have seen the success and expansion that we have so far. We are not concerned with where people are from when we hire them. All of our positions are in-house so they do need to live locally. I have no idea about the personal project you are referring to, that made you feel uncomfortable about doing it. One thing is that no matter what the project is, if someone is uncomfortable with doing something, we want to accommodate them. No matter what the project. We would never fire someone for not wanting to do a project. I was not here, so I'm not sure what happened, but I can assure you, that would never happen. We rarely fire people actually. I don't remember the last time i fired someone - maybe 4 months ago. Almost every manager and VP we have was promoted from lower positions based on their hard work. We promote hard-working individuals who help advance our group. Regarding the pay situation, again, I was not here at that time, but most positions have pay scales and tiers that they can move up after certain amount of time successfully holding a job and getting favorable reviews. But all of our positions that we are hiring for, are listed on our website with their starting pay clearly listed. Most staff move up in pay after 90- days and again after a year. Our company works the way it is. We just had our best year yet. And we are growing with the amount of workload that we have. So we are not likely to change the things that are working for us. But we are ALWAYS open to feedback, from anyone in the company. And we very often make changes based on feedback - because you could always improve, no matter what you are doing or how big of a company you are. Wishing you all the best.

Hello. Your review was written 4 years ago but I wanted to change the response that was written here. I wanted to just mention that our retention rate at this time is higher than the FL average, USA average as well as our industry average. Our turnover is pretty amazing. We have grown by 100 staff in the last year and half, we have had our best year as a company since we started over 20 years ago. We also just won 20th place in Top 100 Workplaces Award for the 8th year in a row. We are non-religious as a company. Its never something that is spoken about or asked about. It is just not something that comes up at all. I know we have a handful of Scientologists maybe about 30 or so, and I only have that number to prove the point that of 270 staff, we believe that everyone has the right to their own religious beliefs. And that plays no part, in the slightest in your job. Your are probably doing great where ever you are at this time. Wishing you all the best.
