Madison Reed reviews

Not a lot of work/life balance. my manager would contact me at all hours of the day and night, weekends. They are a company that talks a lot about employees first, which was not my experience. Lots of gossip. I'd hear management share things about other employees personal lives that were completely inappropriate. Lack of respect for people's boundaries, like I had never seen before at a company. I was denied PTO several times and if I was able to take a day off since I was so burnt out, I got a guilt trip about it when I came back. I spoke to HR about it all of this and they just shrugged their shoulders and said "yeah, that's just how it is". Really disorganized management. Awful at communication. I'd be heads down on a project and when I'd present it to my manager, they'd talk to me like I was an idiot cause the project changed and didn't bother to tell me. most toxic work environment I have ever experienced.

However, don't work for the Color Crew (customer service) it is night and day from the rest of the culture. Even before COVID when we were in the office we were not allowed to attend 'all hands' meetings and events as it would mean we'd be off the phone. A masseuse was scheduled in monthly for free chair massages for the Corp employees (great right?) Color Crew was never informed so we never got that benefit even though we were in the same office space. It is frowned upon if you get out of your chair to go to the bathroom if it's not a break or your lunch you're not allowed to speak to anyone either through Slack or in person because then you're not helping clients. I was managed out and my position has not been refilled so that they could fill it in a cheaper location in San Francisco. And that tells you all you need to know about the company. As much as Amy Erret says Color Crew is the heart and soul she means we are the cogs that make her money.
