Pros
Colleagues who support one another through a very challenging culture.
Cons
There have been a recent wave of reviews that are very clearly being posted by Paley executives to increase their ratings average, and drown out the overwhelmingly negative and truthful reviews about the culture at Paley and its leadership. The fact that these reviews specifically name the CEO and praise her when the majority of reviews on here say that she has created a toxic environment by being verbally abusive to staff, among other unethical leadership practices is incredibly telling. All of these reviews are also very similar in what they say and how they are worded. Here is what you should do right now: filter glassdoor reviews so that you can see all reviews from any type of staff member, and sort by date. The story will become very clear. The picture that will be painted is that Paley has created one of the most toxic atmospheres that you will ever come across, and while being quarantined, they are doing damage control. Read the negative reviews. You'll see the pattern, and this goes back years. Here is the truth. Since their posts are repeating the same dishonest things, here are completely honest and real points made by numerous others in other reviews as well: People are talked down to all the time in ways that you could never possibly imagine. They are forced to work long hours. The term "fire drill" is used by the entire staff daily to describe how work is passed down. The CEO only cares about the board, not her staff. There is a very serious problem at Paley and instead of addressing it and fixing it, they care more about the public perception than the reality. If you’re researching the company because of available jobs, don’t write these red flags off as isolated incidents. This is company wide. This impacts everyone. This will impact you before your first week is over and it will only get worse. Read all of the reviews. Filter in all positions. Filter by date. The truth is easy to see.
