Don't let a good name fool you! - Recensione dipendente - Book Fair Sales Consultant presso Scholastic

Management, management, management. The corporate management philosophies trickle down. The company line is wonderful and every level spouts off the message that this is about getting books into kids' hands and reading is the most important thing in the world but every other action and word from management is counter productive to fulfilling the mission and damaging to employees. The micromanagement and personalized harassment is nonstop and insidious. The ONLY thing that matters is making profit for Scholastic at a ridiculous and impossible pace. Managers sugarcoat the only objective of making profit by repeating the public statements then blame you personally for not meeting their absolutely random sales goals. There is no rhyme or reason for the goals. Middle managers in offices have no ability or skill to correct corporate on what can be done. The fake praise and sucking up to every level of management is nauseating and has ruined the job itself. If you are not systematically targeted to quit, you will turn into a sly, backhanded gas lighter with zero humanity left in you. Working here will truly crush your soul; especially if you love books, love people, love children and have compassion. If you work her more than two years, you will not retain any of those qualities. Do not let the company line or the memories of Clifford from your childhood fool you. Management has murdered Clifford. Don't let them get to you.
