Don’t walk, RUN FROM BIZBASH!
|
|
Bare minimum income for yourself in NYC, I suppose that is a pro.
|
This place is a pathetic joke. I cannot underscore how inept management was during my stint at Bizbash. In my opinion, the company is very cheap. I witnessed them having great difficulties retaining employees. I was embarrassed to have meetings at the office as it looked so horribly outdated inside. Although the brand is somewhat acknowledged in the industry it was impossible to sell advertising here. People always cancelled their accounts and/or the clients never saw value in this brand so never bought advertising. I feel this brand’s days are numbered. In retrospect, it was a severe waste of time and I would never recommend this ‘glorified gig’ to anyone. Avoid at all costs.
If you are reading this and just got a job here do yourself a favor: start looking immediately.

Wouldn't recommend to my worst enemy.
|
|
Since it is a small company- you get to learn alot.
|
Cons definitely are one too many. Micromanagement at it's finest. Finance guy would come out to take attendance and deduct PTOs if someone was late. Depts did not communicate. Low than market salary. Once you leave- they don't even care about you or be happy to say the least that you progressed-selfish employees. CEO has a million ideas yet can't stick to one. Upper management abuses privileges. Way too many tasks for one person= this place is the definition of overworked, overstressed and horrible environment.

Be happy for those who leave and learned from your company, Treat people with respect, don't fire them without any reason and/or right away. just because the company is not doing well. Just as much upper management gets flexibility, allow that to the lower ranks too (many would stick around then).

None...this place is a joke. There are a handful of good people, but you can literally count them on 1 hand.
|
Micromanagement at its finest! The direction of this company, products they sell change as frequently as you change your underwear. Stress levels are always at an all time high because of this, and so is the unhealthy hostile work environment.

Poor Management Style, Unprofessional
|
|
Some employees were awesome. Flexibility with working from home.
|
Its a toxic work environment due to the poor attitude of the upper management (Which only Includes the CEO and a new inexperienced senior manager they recently hired) Every department in the company is short-staffed. CEO lies too much and wouldn't support you in most situations, has a poor management style. Never appreciate how much of a hard work you do. Too many products are there for sales department to sell. Most employees are usually confused on the products they have. Pay is below market standards. Micro-management is at its peak here. Plays favorites to detriment of the company. I think the board should've fired the CEO of this company a long time ago, If they really want to bring in the change. Do you know how he can make money? To make a million you NEED to give him a billion.

Learn to respect your employees. Stop micro managing and quit play favorites. Each individual is important and has their own values. Stop being a snob. Be brutally honest with yourself about what's working and what isn't. Technology is not everything. Work with your staff to achieve your organizational goals. Keep morale high and make your workers feel valued.

Flexibility with working from home
|
As a freelancer they never paid me on time even though I had my terms in writing. Not only do they not pay well, I would have to fight for my paychecks EVERY WEEK. HR/Accounting (a two person team) is such a joke. They would blatantly lie to my face about my checks being in the mail. Then they turned to me and was told I didn't seem invested. Seriously?
As a freelancer, you're supposed to be told what to do. They would just expect things to happen without asking me to complete tasks that were never assigned. No direction from management and lack of accountability. No thanks.

Sales Rep

|
The edit content is visually pleasing and highly on-trend for event planners who use BizBash.com
Surrounded by good-hearted people
Able to socialize and attend after-work events
|
The company tries to do too many things at once and has sales team pitch products that aren't fully executed or flushed out, so confusing to all parties involved. Clients and active business are left hanging when veteran reps leave. There isn't effective handling of accounts and/or quick organization when veteran sales reps leave. False promises and improper training. Company is not in a good place for longevity of business in all departments, especially events and sales. Stay away if you want stability!!

You have to make sure all executive team / higher management is on the same page. There is so much miscommunication and every team in the company is short-stafffed with low morale.
There are too many products and hard not to product dump when expected to sell all products in full force at the same time.
Please get yourself organized or else more problems ahead and more loyal staffers will leave. Not looking stable.

Great Place to Learn and Grow
|
|
Amazing team, enthusiastic CEO, and a fun industry to be a part of. I was able to create the job I wanted at the company by pushing for new initiatives and endeavors. By proving that these endeavors could be successful, I was able to grow tremendously and advance quickly in the company. If you work hard and prove yourself, you will be rewarded and respected. Putting on events and networking with some of the top names in the event industry was exciting and beneficial for my career. I learned many new skills over the years , and it created the foundation for a strong career path. I found the CEO to be very approachable, he listened whenever I presented concerns and tried his best to deal with any problems. The open door policy with the CEO was helpful and made my tenure at BizBash a positive experience.
|
Could use a bit more full time staff, but found that when I needed help as things got busier I was given the support needed if I spoke up. I think not everyone is aware that the CEO would be willing to help more if concerns were brought to his attention.
