Potratz Reviews

Cult-like environment created be narcassistic owner and mascot (and cohorts). Belittling of work and aggressive humiliation in front of equally as intimidated colleagues is nothing compared to the micro-management through intimidation and fear that is practiced here. The young-proffesional, colorful culture portrayed by Potratz online does not exist internally. Excessive coming in early and staying late with no monetary compensation, just to keep up with the workload that is unrealistic due to poor project management. Job titles are changed like socks, people promoted and demoted all over the place. Employees of all departments are fired at random for reasons that are strictly political within upper management. Employee turnover is very high at Potratz, as one can't help but realizes that their well-being cannot be supported by a career at such a turbulent company. To top things off, client turnover is rampant and typically fires Potratz within the first year.

Narcissistic management would be an understatement. New employees are given zero direction and trained by employees who have been with the company for a nominal amount of time (this because there aren't too many employees who last very long). Turnover exceeded 100% during my time there. Company objectives are to saturate the market with digital advertising, focusing on quantity over quality. Neither short or long term objectives are clearly laid out for the team. The owner simply barks orders at people, treating them like animals. He actually screams the names of employees from his office, and expects them to come running to him. He may personally understand digital marketing, however, lacks all forms of leadership skills.
