Sage reviews

-Role was dull with very little room for career progression. Management do not care about helping staff grow or encourage them to take on further responsibilities. Weekly meetings with managers end up being hour long chats about everything else but work, as roles become so repetitive and tedious that there is nothing new to discuss. -Will constantly say that they are open to trying new ideas but change absolutely nothing and instead come up with excuses as to why the newly proposed idea will not work. -Marketing strategies are similar to those of a predatory journal - management have admitted that their only focus is to drive submissions (i.e. money) to journals, which is partially done by exhausting recipients on our mailing lists with 'Submit to our journal' campaigns to the point of harassment. During my time working there a major pharmaceutical company complained that they no longer wanted marketing communications from SAGE because of how often they received emails from us, yet management still did not see this as reason enough to change the marketing approach. -Campaign numbers are at an all time low, yet during meetings managers prefer to dance around the issue and instead discuss how to make our campaigns more visually appealing. What is the point of such if no one is opening them in the first place? It is very disheartening to spend all week working on a campaign to only have 30 people out of 3000 open it.

pathetic pay-scale, no employee motivation, discriminatory treatment between lower and higher level employees
