DailyOM reviews

A work environment with virtually no corporate culture where employees don’t interact with one another and day to day tasks are micromanaged down to the minute. You are a robot. A company that lacks structure and a long term vision where it matters most and presents few to no opportunities for upward advancement. You are expected to strictly adhere to decisions made by an incompetent management team. You can forget about anything resembling HR, performance reviews, career development, flexibility or basic human compassion here. The employee turnover is a direct result of this No open, direct communication. Things are unnecessarily confusing, intentionally ambiguous and always very last minute. All you need is a few minutes talking to management to see this. If you decide to move forward you’ll understand that management team is consumed by control tactics, mind games and power moves. Pettiness above all else. This trickles down to employees and creates toxicity. Office wide meetings are an opportunity for management to assert power, make passive aggressive comments and control your every move. This creates unnecessary tension and competition between departments and employees. This is corporate bureaucracy and clique mentality. The employee turnover speaks for itself. Don’t do it.

-Small company. Many people wear many hats and do a lot of things, but can be EXTREMELY stressful. (Honestly, I loved this part. My resume grew ten-fold from this position.) -There is a lot of responsibility on each person because you are the ONLY one doing your tasks. This can be very stressful, no matter how supportive your direct manager is. -You have to be very articulate and confident with questions you have for the owners. Luckily, there is management between the team and the owners now, but it's a small team. Having that confidence and conviction can be hard. -Very high turnover. People quit or get fired a lot more here than I have seen at any other company. -The team tends to be very young (age-wise). It may be because of the salary point and benefits or maybe because younger teams will do what you say and not question the workflow. (More so for Marketing than Production.) -No documented mission, vision, values. This really bothered me. I came from HR for a company that prided itself in it's company culture and I missed this A LOT. -That reminds me, there is no HR. If you have any complaints, I recommend you bring Julie in on it, no matter what team you are on. *NOTE: The Marketing team is MUCH different than the Production team I was on. From what I understand, DailyOM marketing is unlike most marketing. It is a lot of turning off/on Facebook ads with not a lot of room for creativity. *NOTE (2): All companies have their pros/cons. It's easy to see the cons when you're in it, but different place, different crap. I had ups and downs throughout my employment, but by the time I left I was genuinely sad to go.
