Advice to Management

Continue to keep strong/open lines of communication with the whole company

Pros

The open work space and transparent communication across teams makes this a great place for someone to excel in their career. We all fully embrace our roles, own up to any mistakes that have been made and pick each other up when its needed. The CEO always looks to better shape the dynamic of Scratch's culture.

Pros

Company has been in existence since 2002, but remains very focused on continuing to grow. Kind of place that rewards growth thinking vs. fixed thinking, and allows people to create their own opportunities. Plays in one of the few growing sectors of the music space – DJing. Company includes a few different business units allowing for a variety of functional roles within. Upper management is dedicated and committed to helping the company succeed.

Advice to Management

Investment in top notch people at the top of their fields will lead to a top notch company at the height of its potential.

Pros

Work life balance is well respected

Advice to Management

More transparency between management and lower level employees.

Pros

Management has diverse backgrounds and are strategic, helpful, and always open-door

Pros

Scratch DJ Academy is the only perk to working with Scratch Music. Employees are able to take free dj classes and receive discounts on other classes. The staff is generally friendly and the Scratch DJ Academy community is the only thing that is attracting attention to this company.

Advice to Management

Re-structure or replace your upper management team and properly compensate employees for their work and dedication. Offer fair incentive plans for employees that exceed goals and expectations. Show more appreciation for your employees and listen to their ideas and concerns. As stated in previous reviews, realize that people are unhappy and do something about it. Bring back the company culture that was once there. Consider hiring employees that have actual experience working in the music industry or have experience working in the DJ community.

Pros

Talented and passionate management, good benefits, entrepreneurial, challenging and fast paced environment

Advice to Management

Reward hard working employees more and offer more formal training for sales staff to really grow and get better
