Employees are not paid appropriately based on their level of job expertise and especially not in comparison to the cost of living in Atlanta. Additionally, when offering feedback about this, employees are basically told that all salaries are fair based on market research and they're stopped from being able to complain any further.
Similarly, much of the company's focus seems to be on momentum and acquisition rather than their employees or their product itself. There is just a huge divide between what's being offered by GSG in the US and what's being offered in other markets. Looking at competitors like Honey and how they use influencer marketing, it makes no sense that we wouldn't try to offer similar marketing options. This is especially poignant when looking at public knowledge of CNN Coupons and BUS Coupons in comparison to the popularity of big names like Retailmenot and Rakuten. There's no competition, and we're fighting a losing battle by focusing on only organic marketing.
Finally, the organization within the company is so opaque to literally everyone outside of the central team, it's sometimes impossible to know who to come to for questions or advice on a project. This also goes for many of the regular processes within the central team. Things like salary reviews, goal-setting, and even the decision to purchase another company come as complete surprises to everyone on the outside.
