Ive never spoken badly about any company or past employment where Ive worked. Its not in my nature and I dont like to burn bridges, but I should share my experience and save someone else the trouble. I left a really good digital marketing position with high pay, great benefits, and an amazing boss to work for Steve Tolerico at IDGB or IDBG, LLC. (formerly ID Group). He lured me away with an offer of higher pay, profit sharing, and it was a shorter commute. Taking that job was a HUGE mistake. Its the shortest amount of time Ive ever worked anywhere and the only job I havent given a two-week notice. My first day was spent in meetings. He yelled at his Creative Development Producer (fancy for Project Manager) in front of the Book Keeper he hired the same day. The Book Keeper quit too. It was extremely uncomfortable and unprofessional. I discovered Steve likes to have long drawn out meetings, most are him brainstorming. He wants you to sit through them and then complains about work not getting done. Then hed want you to stay late and not pay you for it. He does that to his seventy-year-old project manager, keeping her there until eight or nine at night on a daily basis. Every company Ive ever worked for has a clear purpose for meetings with a bulleted agenda and a time limit. Needless to say, I was never given a proper workspace with a desk and working computer in the short time I was there. He hired me initially because I have a skillset that includes digital marketing, content writing, graphic design, and web design. What I ended up doing in the short time period I was there were estimate worksheets and inputting proposals into their workflow management system. Accomplishing anything in this office is difficult because its extremely disorganized with a system that he frequently changes. Frankly, it could be streamlined and simplified for efficiency. The brainstorming sessions and disorganization severely cut productively and cause headaches for everyone else. Youre staying late for no good reason and hell call you outside of working hours, keeping you on the phone at length. Prior to starting work for IDGB, Steve called me to give me company history. This phone call was really him bad mouthing every single person who worked for him. He didnt have one good thing to say about anyone. It was a huge red flag that I shouldnt have ignored. I went back the next day because I like to give people the benefit of the doubt. I thought maybe he was just having a bad day. I voiced my concern to both his project manager and him that I didnt think the constant conflict and yelling was healthy for anyone. Then I discovered that his staff page on his website is a lie. Some of the staff listed doesnt even work there anymore and everyone who does work for him are 1099 subcontractors, freelancers he outsources work. The company is mostly him and his project manager who hes dependent on in a really unhealthy way. I got to meet a few freelancers who stop in the office once or twice a week. Everyone I spoke with discreetly is unhappy working for him and looking for other work because of the environment. Plus I caught one of his content writers copy and pasting directly from another website. Plagiarism. If the information is sourced properly, its no big deal. The marketing posts she wrote were also subpar. The reason for this is because Steve hasnt been paying her adequately. Not that Im justifying it, but this was a clear case of someone not giving their best because of frustration. If you dont treat people the right way or pay them, then theyre not going to give you their best work. My last day he called his project manager a b*tch and told both of us to STFU. The funny thing is I wasnt even talking. I was just standing there listening to him yell at her. Honestly, Ive never experienced anything like it in my life. I went home and spoke with my husband. I decided that in this unique situation I couldnt possibly giv
