"I have the ability to have autonomy in my role, to work my accounts to deliver the best marketing programs to affect change, and I get to work with some of the brightest people I have ever met. There's the standard slowness that comes with a large, heavily regulated industry, but Pru is looking to take intelligent risks in order to do things differently, more quickly, and smarter."

Marketing Manager at Metropolitan Transit Authority
in Houston, TX

What do you like about working at Metropolitan Transit Authority?

"First, I am no longer working for METRO. What I did like while I was there were the people. I had some excellent supervisors and was given the chance to basically change careers without changing employers."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Best tip - be aware that METRO is a government agency and not a corporation and as such is often restricted due to compliance for funding and other legal requirements."

What don't you like about working at Metropolitan Transit Authority?

"The biggest negative impact was the budget. There never seemed to be enough money to properly market METRO's services."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"There needs to be less management and more trust in the worker bee ranks. The board of directors need to oversee the larger picture and not be involved in the day-to-day operations."

If you didn't like it, you were told to go elsewhere.They're the type of employer that knows the economy is bad, and with no local opportunities that they have you over a barrel and take advantage of the situation.There will be a mass exodus."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Bring in an outside firm to evaluate your poor management style.Take a long look in the mirror and realize how many lives and you're making miserable.Don't pretend you're a family company, you're just one of many disfunctional family run organizations."

Marketing Manager at Cork-Howard Construction Company
in Marietta, GA

Please give us a one liner to describe this review.

"The construction industry has been hit hard; the culture/vision has suffered"

What do you like about working at Cork-Howard Construction Company?

"The variety of duties and responsibility. The potential as marketing and technology become intertwined. It's an exciting time."

What don't you like about working at Cork-Howard Construction Company?

"The culture has become poor due to a lack of direction/vision and the rough times in our industry. Instead of bonding together as a team, people become fearful and territorial, making it more challenging to work together/get things done. There is minimal support on incentives and initiatives and little cmmunication regarding expectations; this makes it difficult to know when or if the work produced is hitting the target."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Provide open communication and a vision of where the company is and where it is going. Encourage good behavior, eliminate bad behavior. Do what's right because it's the right thing to do. Create an open and collaborative environment - especially in difficult and challenging times. Communicate, communicate, communicate. Be open, honest, and transparent."

Marketing Manager at Three Square
in Las Vegas, NV
