If you have to lead by fear the problem is you. - Anonymous employee ConsumerAffairs Employee Review

The things I wish somebody would have told me before joining ConsumerAffairs: -I came from a company that was micromanaged, so ConsumerAffairs seemed like a good fit, they make you believe that as long as you perform they won't tell you how to do you job, however, that's not the case. - They lead by fear, you never know when your last day will be, there is no desire to help develop talent, instead they just toss it away and hire someone at a much cheaper rate who can be a robot. - Promises are never kept. - The CEO is the real problem here, he is the kind of person that has a $50k house and he believes it is worth a million, he raised the prices in the product and literally scared every prospect away, however, since it was his idea he did not want to admit defeat. The SDR team this year outperformed the previous 2 years on a monthly basis, even with crutches implemented by the CEO. If 99% of your sales team is gone, maybe it is not the sales team that is the problem, maybe the issue comes from up top. - The worst part about ConsumerAffairs was that I actually believed in it, I remember asking myself at the beginning, why would someone leave CA? Towards the end I was asking, why would someone stay here? - I believe some day CA will be successful, however, it won't be until the Executives are replaced.
