Kelby Media has a great product. Unfortunately, the people in charge have no idea how to neither run a business nor nurture their employees. The egos and delusional propaganda run rampant. Those in charge have created a mentality where they encourage employees to throw each other under the bus for having a different opinion.
Kelby Media hires new employees without a job description, to only set the new hires up for failure. They have a 90 day “probation period” which upper management AND HR throws in new hires’ faces constantly. They also hire employees only to change their job titles without being told. There are many new hires that came in believing their job description was one thing, only to find out they are demoted and their descriptions changed to something totally different, hence setting up new hires for failure and termination.
Everyone spins their wheels trying to make management happy and does extra work to only have it thrown out. There is NO communication between departments. You are to obtain information through osmosis and expected to know what everyone is thinking.
Older employees are encouraged to harass new employees especially if the harassers and bullies are family friends of the owners. The owners barely come out of their offices and when they do, they ignore employees. Management screams “They are fair and just” only their actions demonstrate the complete opposite. Even with proof of mismanagement and harassment, you are not given a chance nor receive any help. This is a terrible vicious cycle and unfortunately EEO cannot help you. Kelby Media leaves no paper trail of harassment reports. They do, however, keep all records of employees who try to defend themselves. That file is called “Problem Employees” and they are soon terminated. Coming to work terrified daily is not a way to live.
This company is NOT organized, not legitimate and very much catered to the egos of the owners and their friends. They treat new trainers the same as employees, poorly if you are not a friend of the Kelbys. The Kelbys and their upper management will use you and throw you out once you have served your purpose. Anyone applying to this company should be weary. Any new trainers should also be weary when trying to be signed to this company.
No one understands why Adobe continues to support such a disaster of a company.
