"Arrogance Begets Decline (Especially in Tough Economic Times)"
What do you like about working at Impact Communications?
"In the beginning, the working environment was very good. That deteriorated over time. Howard Kroplick, the President and Founder, was a very kind man; he's no longer affiliated with the company, I understand."
Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?
"Look around."
What don't you like about working at Impact Communications?
"Systemic issues regarding process that were never addressed, a declining concern for product quality, an increasing need to work longer hours with no compensation, and comparatively low pay."
What suggestions do you have for management?
"I covered all of that in my written evaluation at the end of my working experience there. My understanding is that none of those issues were addressed. In a nutshell, many process policies should be driven by the experience of those who actually, on a day-to-day basis, work to create the product on which the company is based, rather than by higher-ups who, for political or turf reasons, make policy that, while perhaps satisfying their personal interests, don't best serve the larger needs of the company or most staff. Decisions made by the Partners there were particularly troubling."

"Simple and straightforward and that's cool."
What do you like about working at American Kennel Club?
"It was a somber environment to work, but my immediate supervisor got jealous because that week, three days before Christmas of that year the Met Life CEO, baseball sportsman who loved my game Cricket, had lunch with me at my desk. We talked about sports most of the hour and she got jealous and gave me a bad report that gave her legal reasoning to fire me. I kept this report to this day. Most of the people I worked with were sensible and loved their jobs. One old guy who sits across my desk kept brown-nosing into my business and chatting nonsense all day."
Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?
"You must be in love with dogs; dog shows and pedigree dogs. Talk dog talk; worship dog food brands and literally live the lives of dogs, with all the fleas."
What don't you like about working at American Kennel Club?
"I did not like working in close quarters with disingenuous character like Mr. Townsend, a senior copy writer and musicologist."
What suggestions do you have for management?
"Management must stop this commonality of playing football with a person's time and effort. People do not get up on time to get to work 99% of the time and work until late for someone in management to undermine their work and their efforts. It's a common practice I am exposed to and disliked its practice because it demoralize the workplace."
