The Epitome of Corporate Ruthlessness... - Anonymous employee BNP Media Employee Review

Everything about this company is a con.Person who hired me lured me away from a 14-year job with a lot of false praise and big promises. Created a situation where I had to leave former job in less than two weeks. When I got to BNP, I quickly realized I made a huge mistake gambling my family's well-being on a company with such an unstable working environment. The person tasked with training me gave me little to no help at all. Management all work from home and do little or nothing to help new recruits acclimate to a company with a cold, passive-aggressive culture. (At least 1-3 people left or quit each week during the month I was there.) Worst of all, company publication relies upon advertiser-written and third-party produced content rather than properly serving readership with in-house content. In retrospect, I believe I was hired so company could have a bigger presence at an industry tradeshow that was three weeks away. Every time I had a question, the stock reply was, "Let's get through this show, then we'll talk about it." After returning from the tradeshow, I was summarily let go with no explanation as to why. Worse yet, the person who hired me knew I have a family to support that includes two special-needs children. Using people in such a way might be good for the company, but the effects are devastating for us "insignificant little people" living paycheck to paycheck.
