- Overall culture has sharply declined since the JMI investment in 2020. This was a fun, locally grown and intimate company, now it's cold, stuffy and very corporate feeling.
-Goals and quotas that were influenced by JMIs consultants are simply unattainable. Have heard that marketing is now a call center and employees in that department are being extremely micromanaged. Every call must be recorded, only send approved emails, and there are many random zoom calls to “check in”.
- Bloomerang used to be a workplace where suggestions and opinions were valued and respected. The CEO continuously asks for honest feedback, but I don't think it is truly welcomed. The standard response now (from several managers) is one that encourages employees to keep their thoughts to themselves and don't ask questions. I've heard managers make inadvertent employment threats for challenging the status quo.
-While the PTO allotment isn’t bad, employees are discouraged to take long vacations for fear of missing quota and being put on performance review.
- Bloomerang loves to market itself as a diverse workspace, but there are no people of color in my department or within the C-level staff. Leadership is all white, and majority male.
- Bloomerang does not prioritize the career growth of long time employees. New promotions and opportunities are highly trending in favor of external candidates or employees of the recently acquired company. Female candidates are also considered second tier, from what I've seen.
