The lack of retirement plans, affordable health insurance, and maternity leave is very disappointing, and feels worse when the pay is so much lower than other job opportunities in Salt Lake.Salt Lake City, Utah iOS Developer Computer Software Education University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill 2009 - 2013 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill 2009 - 2013 BA Journalism and Mass Communication, Journalism DevMountain DevMountain DevMountain DevMountain Experience DevMountain June 2015 - Present Video Producer November 2014 - May 2015 Photojournalist June 2014 - October 2014 Jackson Citizen Patriot January 2014 - June 2014 The Flint Journal June 2013 - January 2014 Market Connections June 2012 - December 2012 YardSprout May 2012 - July 2012 The Durham Herald-Sun March 2011 - June 2011 Skills iOS Development, Objective-C, Swift, Photography, Videography, Video Production, Communication, Professional Audio, Writing, Adobe Creative Suite, Storytelling, Web Content, Digital Video, Media Production, Soundtrack Pro, Photoshop, Journalism, Content Strategy, Video Editing, Multimedia, Web Design, Image Editing, Logo Design, Final Cut Pro, Newspapers, New Media, Entrepreneurship, WordPress, Wedding Photography, InDesign, Art Direction, Spanish, Photojournalism, Editing, Github, Firebase, Parse

I wish Oozle Media worked harder to listen to their employees internal complaints. I was not the only one who had a terrible experience with that employee, and yet nothing was ever done. I left the company within two months feeling like the problem child of Oozle Media. I genuinely believed I was a bad worker and I was not destined to succeed at any other job. I was not seen as a good or worthwhile employee and I still feel very distressed and embarrassed recalling that time of my life. I felt like I barely had a chance to catch my breath and recoup with my new team, but the damage from working with the previous team and my extreme work-related anxiety was done. I called another employee and told them if I wasn't removed from that team immediately, they could accept my resignation. This carried on for months until I felt like I was at my breaking point. I have never felt more embarrassed in a professional setting.Įven after this, I had to continue working with them. In a group call between them and management, I was pressured to disclose very sensitive medical information. They escalated it to management fairly quickly. They implied to me multiple times that I was "taking too long" or lying about my medical appointments. It was very scary and subsequently I needed to go to the doctor on almost a weekly basis.

My performance at work started slipping because I was so sick with anxiety from working with them.Īfter working with them for months, I had a serious health crisis come up. I reached out to multiple people for help and my complaints were always brushed aside. I truly have never cried more because of a job or fellow employee. There were multiple instances where they would change due dates of my tasks, without telling me, only so they could bring it up to my team or management that I was falling behind or skipping tasks. They would randomly call me and others on Google Hangouts with zero warning to yell at us for tasks. I worked with them for about a year, and within that year I was bullied, yelled at, and lied to on a nearly daily basis. I personally had a horrible, ongoing experience with one employee in particular. No one was ever let go because of their actions, even when multiple employees leveled serious complains for months (and in some cases, years). These were employees who bullied, harassed, and marginalized many employees and their behavior was constantly dismissed.

Oozle has employed some very difficult people.
