Extremely high turnover / Unfair treatment

Pros

The company has a decent brand name and quality content.

Cons

Company rests on the laurels of "quality content". The sales group specifically has higher turnover than any other industry, making one question the priorities of upper management, who, continues to promote itself to cover up poor decisions. Aside from personnel issues and unfair treatment, the job titles are are written to justify the improper pay and unrealistic workload. Bottom line, this company is unclear in its focus, appears to be unaware of its outdated business plan, and simply cannot compete with its competitors.
