Stay Far Away From This Company

Pros

Competitive health benefits and that is all.

Cons

Sr. Management has no clue what they are doing. If you aren't in NYC you might as well not exist. CEO is disconnected from the company and Finance makes all the business decisions based on their cash flow. President and most Sr. Management are disconnected from reality and often times don't even know the names of their employees.

Bottom of PMC totem pole

Business Outlook

Pros

Typical NYC Media Office - young, mostly women. Collaborative space with an outgoing environment and energetic teammates.

Cons

The CEO. I repeat, THE CEO. She is a total basket case with no insight into the business or the capabilities of her team. She constantly and consistently lies to clients which in turn puts the entire team and company in a difficult spot because no one is able to deliver on what we've sold and we rarely receive repeat business. She is disingenuous and rude. I have apologized to clients more than one time because of her behavior. Apart from client facing interactions, she is also derogatory and negative to her team, constantly putting them down and poking fun of them in front of other team members for her own pure enjoyment. SHE Media was acquired by PMC and since then things have gone down hill. We are obviously the lowest regarded company in the portfolio and it shows, just visit our offices. Our benefit package drastically decreased since the acquisition and we are not paid out our vacation days yet team members have been threatened and scolded for taking their vacation days numerous times. (ALL EMPLOYEES should have the option to take their vacations days or have them paid out -- they are part of a total compensation package.) PMC is the only media company in NYC that does not receive summer Friday's and we do not receive the day after Thanksgiving but you better be prepared to answer emails after 9pm, texts from the CEO after 11pm and be responsive on weekends. PMC offers ZERO 401k match. During my time here, I have seen a high rate of turnover and I know many people are actively searching. Many times when someone leaves, they are not replaced, hurting the success of the live campaigns and the overall health of the business. I pity any woman who will have a child while employed at PMC. For a company with a very "pro-female" "pro-equality" "let's raise women up" mission, maternity leave at SHE Media + PMC is pitiful and a poor example of what companies should offer their employees. The PMC CEO said he would meet 1:1 with every member of the SHE Media team after the acquisition and almost 18 months later, we are still waiting for those meetings. (My calendar is up to date, if the offer still stand!) It is obvious that there is a plan for SHE Media that involves very little of the current staff.

Smoke & Mirrors

Pros

Co-Workers are good. Good Holiday Schedule. Competitive Pay & Benefits

Cons

You are sold on your job with a culture of fun and challenge. After you start you realize there is no fun and it's all smoke and mirrors. Don't plan on getting promoted from within, they only value people coming from the outside. Basically a culture of fear if you do something wrong, have the perception you did something wrong, or try to influence a culture of fun you are probably on your way our or plan on being replaced.
