Vantaggi

The skills, business acumen, and life lessons that I learned at Angel Publishing are invaluable. When I arrived at Angel, I was a recent college grad, really only a boy. Now, I leave a man. Don’t believe some of these heinous, earlier reviews about a toxic work environment. Angel is both fun and functional. Yes, there will be many company outings and opportunities to socialize, such as axe-throwing, company happy hours, or baseball games. But beneath that shiny veneer, Angel is a well-oiled machine. There is little-to-no micromanagement. You’re responsible for your own deadlines and workload. If you need guidance, it’s there. You only have to ask. Angel is a very special place. It may not be for everybody, but if you like a good time and you’re self-sufficient, you’d be hard-pressed to find a more enjoyable place to work in Baltimore. I loved my tenure at Angel, and I’ll always look back fondly at my time spent there.

Svantaggi

Again, you need to be a self-starter. They’ll give you enough rope to hang yourself, and some people certainly do. Also, like the real world, this is an office filled with people of varied personalities and backgrounds. If you have trouble talking or interacting with other human beings, this may not be the job for you.

Plenty of smart people. Low micromanagement. High trust in employees.

Svantaggi

If you're not self-motivated or if you need constant monitoring, you're probably going to get left behind.

Vantaggi

I met some pretty cool people. The hours were great. The pay was decent, considering how easy the work is. They are very laid-back, there's no dress code, and they do have several kegs in the kitchen. They like to party. None of that on an individual level was a problem. On the surface, it seemed like a dream come true.

Svantaggi

But small companies sometimes means very little in the way of proper management. I was told explicitly, on my first day, to NEVER speak to the CEO even though he sits maybe 10 feet from me. There isn't a rubric for how customer service agents should handle calls, but they do call grading for reviews. They don't tell you in the job description that sales is part of your job as a customer service agent BUT IT IS. They don't give you a quota but they've fired people for not making enough sales. Promotions are handed out based on popularity, not merit.

Thanks for your review. We take pride in the fact that we don't have many specific "rubrics" for many positions. This is what makes things so exciting at Angel and creates such a huge opportunity for movement within the company. Our customer service department is still growing and on no occasion is anyone ever discouraged from speaking to any other employee, especially the CEO.
