The company has a poor history of decision making and moral aptitude and that continues to this day. If you have a high moral character, this is not the company for you. The pay is below industry average and way below what people in the area are getting in similar positions. Raises are rarely given and when they do its below the cost of living increase that is normal amongst most companies. There is very little ability to move up in the company. Rather than looking for top talent, they just move employees over to new roles that are not qualified and or add more responisblities to other employees and not increase their pay. There is little to no training before employees are thrown to the wolves and no employee development over time. Upper Deck is understaffed in every department to handle the workload of a company that wants to be great. The marketing department is especially poor and has little direction from the top. The president runs the company similar to a dictatorship. It's his way or the highway, there is no middle management that has any true say in how decisions are made. He takes credit for everything that is good with the company, but never takes ownership for the poor decisions that are made and there are a lot. He protects his favorite few employees even when they blatantly are not doing certain aspects of their job or are doing it poorly. He did do a good job of removing the craziness from the company when the owner died. The new owner of the company is never heard from, even though employees want to hear from her and she is in the building from time to time. The phone system and computer systems that they use are antiquated to say the least. They don't contribute to 401k, and they don't offer discounts to employees on products.
