Price Edwards & Co. Employee Reviews for Marketing Assistant

"A few bad apples can spoil the bunch."

What do you like about working at Price Edwards & Co.?

"I liked almost everything about the company until close to the end. The work was challenging, my immediate coworkers were mostly easygoing and decent people, and the compensation was decent. I liked working on different things every day, but also having long term projects that kept me fairly grounded."

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

"Be prepared for everyone to act very friendly to your face, but none of them are your friends."

What don't you like about working at Price Edwards & Co.?

"I didn't like the fact that the atmosphere was very closed to innovation of any kind. When I was hired, I was asked to revamp a filing system for 7 brokers. They resisted all forms of paperless or computer managed reworking, so eventually, we ended up with a new paper format that was only slightly different from the system they had prior to my hiring. This attitude was endemic, stretching into marketing and client communications as well.I also did not like the false-friend system that was part of the fabric of the company. People were always gossiping about one another and talking behind each other's backs, getting embroiled in petty intrigues and backbiting, that it was finally worth more to me to just steer clear of most of my fellow employees."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"The management at Price Edwards & Company should think very carefully about the corporate climate they wish to foster, and make decisions that are in keeping with their desired outcomes. Specifically, they should look more at their employees' track records and behavior than at other employees' backbiting and infighting."
