Pros

* Manager committed to processes and improving over time * Feel like suggestions are appreciated most times * Good history and reputation in the industry sectors they represent I feel my experience has been good at Forester Media. I've been treated fairly, had some nice wins that were recognized by my supervisor and management. I've also made a few honest mistakes, which got me in "hot water" with the boss. However, I own my mistakes, am sorry, and it was accepted. I also have a supervisor who's been great at acting as a buffer for our team, and doing what can be done to ensure processes are established and followed so our team can work efficiently. Many of the staff have been around for years. I haven't seen any manipulation or misery the former employees speak of.

Cons

* Slow moving on some initiatives due to getting team consensus (bureaucracy) * Not a whole lot of interaction between departments

Pros

Pretty good benefits, mostly great people to work with, semi-rewarding industry, and a great office location a few steps away from Trader Joe's.

Cons

There are a couple key players that are poisoning the environment for the rest of the company. Since these two have joined, the turnover has been over 10 people in less than 3 years...yet the owner doesn't seem to think this is an issue. These players are degrading, unreasonable, and as you can probably guess, extremely difficult to work with. I highly recommend thinking twice before accepting a position at this company.
