Global Link Distribution Reviews

Basically, a company headed nowhere. As the only person in the marketing department for quite a while, they constantly needed me to give them my plans for their approval. While that is a common task for anyone in marketing positions, they lack the knowledge of common and efficient marketing tactics/trends and have no idea what they're doing. If you bring up common ways to improve ROI's and KPI's, the boss will sit there and tell you you're wrong. He'll insist you come up with 5th grade level power point reports with pictures so he doesn't have to read anything. Or he'll request you to submit your work for his approval, but never approve anything for weeks, then forget his initial instructions, and proceed to contradict most of his own instructions later on. Honestly, what's been said so far is still bearable. The unbearable part is the hostile environment this place can be. The boss likes to walk around his office shouting profanity and cussing people out. He'll call you stupid and try to make you look like an idiot during meetings. He smokes cigarettes in his office, despite the signs of that being prohibited. There have been previous employees (note the plural) who have quit the job in tears. He once told an employee she wouldn't understand what grown men are talking about and laughed as he sent her back downstairs. Even the simple motion of waving “hi” at them results in management ignoring it and waving you off like a dog. If there was ever an example on a Wikipedia page about "hostile working environments", there should be a picture of GLD on here without a doubt. Another red flag comes from their time management system. You clock in and out, but there have been nights where the manager would come to us 5 minutes before work is over and tells us no one can leave until a task (unrelated to our position) is completed. That is fine, we all complied and did our part. The sad part was that they purposely didn't account all of us for over an hour of the time we stayed. When everyone reported it on the next pay day, we had to face the boss telling everyone that "we are all trying to take advantage of overtime and his money", even though we were instructed that we weren’t allowed to leave. These are the type of things that happen commonly by the way. Constantly working in fear of hostility is a toxic experience. Most people work there while they are job hunting elsewhere. I hope I saved some poor soul from having to work at a place like this with my honest review of this place.

Bad management, underpaid, no benefits, no vacation paid...had to work 35 hours a week and you won't be qualify for full time.
