Thank you for taking the time to provide a review. We did have to make the hard decision to leave the promotions agency business and focus exclusively on the loyalty business which did result in layoffs. However, the loyalty and direct businesses are very healthy and will continue to drive profitable business in the future.

Not the place it used to be

Pros

Decent work/life balance. Benefits aren't bad. Really nice, smart, hard working people.

Cons

The family environment they boast about hasn't been there since prior to the acquisition of Prize Logic. The CEO doesn't even know who people are anymore. Leadership has become very impersonal, cold, and calculated. When you lay people off, have the class to do it in person where individuals are allowed to ask questions and digest the information. Don't do it on a Zoom call with a hundred other people. Lastly, not allowing people to ask for references from their managers is as low as it gets. So much for taking care of your own.

Thank you for taking the time to provide a review. We completely understand that you may be feeling negatively towards the company as a result of the layoff. When we considered how to go about meeting with employees, we considered that doing it in a group setting (while ensuring no visibility amongst the employees in the meeting for privacy concerns) was best. The alternative would have been individual meetings which, once they began, word would have gotten out and we didn’t want employees to have to suffer in silence for several days waiting “their turn” for a meeting. Although not ideal, we thought this was the better option for employees for that reason. In lieu of reference letters, we have had a policy of providing only title and dates of employment for verifications of employment as part of our handbook for many years, and we find that it offers consistency for all, and is in line with what many companies currently do in that area.
