Such a mess.

Pros

The pros are limited. The pay is competitive and the office is in a great location. They also provide a soda machine and free coffee. Occasionally there are snacks and goodies.

Cons

Unfortunately, there are far more cons. The energy is so negative and everyone is so stressed out. This company is definitely reactive instead of proactive. The CEO does not value nor acknowledge his employees. Everyone seems to be working against one another than with each other. People at that place are to full of themselves and focus more on pride than their jobs.

Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback. We do listen and take our employees' (even former employees') viewpoints into account. We are aware of the negativity that permeates the Customer Service department. About six months ago, in an effort to reverse course, our CEO split CS from the marketing department. At the same time, he hired a CS Director, giving her free rein to rebuild CS without micromanaging her efforts. Unfortunately, the old marketing-CS rivalries did not go away. Perhaps the CEO should have stepped in to intervene. Instead, he trusted the two directors to work things out on their own. The company - especially the CEO - is committed to improving matters for our dedicated CS team. We recognize that CS has one of the hardest jobs in the company, as they deal with customer complaints all day long. While we have one of the lowest return-refund percentages in the print industry, we know that they don't get to talk to the 97.5% of our customers who are satisfied with product and delivery. We are trying to find ways to communicate our success to CS, so they can see beyond the phone calls and chat to the bigger picture. Finally, our HR director has been with the company for almost ten years. It is safe to say that he and the CEO have a better relationship than is depicted here. We wish you luck in your new job and hope you think kindly of the people at Farheap who genuinely care about you.

Pros

They hire people on the cheap, mostly people with problems

Cons

Too many to mention. One example - a new guy shows up. A month later he announces "you now report to me". My manager is unavailable to clarify or even verify. The new guy has no clue what I do or how it needs to be done. Starts imposing whacked-out demands. "We are a Pirate Ship! Whatever the Captain commands, we must do! (implied: legal or illegal, ethical or unethical...) States this comes from the CEO... A long time ago, when I was completely green, a guy showed up and announced he was my boss. (He wasn't). He started assigning me HIS work with priority over my prior assignments. My boss was away on assignment and I didn't even think to question the situation. Turns out the "new boss" was only a master manipulator, trying to get work done the lazy way. Two months later, that guy was promoted and gone, and I got into trouble over that. Ring a bell?

Thank you for giving us your feedback. The company already has safeguards in place to protect employees from being required to do anything illegal or unethical. We sincerely wish that if you felt you were being asked to do "whatever the Captain commands" and felt that meant illegal acts, that you would have felt free to follow the structure in place. Odds are high that the person making that statement would have been disciplined, not you, or that at minimum you would have been able to clear the air. We encourage any and all current or future employees reading this to talk to HR if you ever believe you are being asked to do something that goes against your conscience. Management is committed to an ethical workplace and we try to make that a reality.

Pros

Laid back Michael Wolfe is the coolest, but he's crazy. Pay is super super good/ good benefits the first day there

Cons

You're 8-5 and if you leave even if you have all of your work done they get mad for leaving at 5.... they literally want you to stay until like 7pm They guilt you if you take a lunch break even if it's for 20 minutes They fire SO many people per month/ no job stability The CEO Brett is a lunatic and will scream curse words, EVERYONE is afraid of him They will fire you if you check your phone High school drama environment, they intimidate you Worst customer service teams, not enough employees and they're not trained.

In most instances, we appreciate postings that are made by former employees – even if critical. However, management strongly disagrees and takes exception to your comments related to Mr. Wolfe (who has not been part of our team since long before your posting), our CEO, and company practices related to work hours, job stability and our customer service team and performance. Our goal has been, and continues to be, to provide our customers with the best service possible.
