      They Sold Their Souls $$$

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great Co-workers who care about the product and each other

      Cons

      This company lost their mission years ago. They make an impact with their products, but inside the walls of the facilities, their employees are being put through hell, in many cases. It is financial win at any cost. People are referred to as "headcount" as they are eliminated by top management. They have a list of assets that they plan on dumping. There is no respect or appreciation. In fact, the best performing employees are given more and more work until they complain, then they are forced out. You can not speak the truth without being put out. HR will no doubt give a message of call us to talk about your experience, we care. I can tell you, as many can from experience, that they don't. They are henchmen, as are the managers of the facilities to say the opposite of what everyone can clearly see and hear. The ones who stay, for the most part, simply have no where else to go.

      While Salem’s content may be Christian, family themed and conservative, we are a publicly traded, for-profit company that has a fiscal responsibility to our shareholders, stakeholders, and other employees. We try to be as open and transparent as possible. If you want to discuss this further as well as ideas for us to improve as a company then we encourage you to contact our corporate HR department at 844-500-9299.
