Thank you for taking the time to write a review! At Team Velocity Marketing, we encourage all employees to promote their skills and to move up within our organization. We promote people based on stellar performance and teamwork rather than tenure. Successfully growing a culture like this requires setting up a system that demonstrates and recognizes contributions and performance on individual and group level. On the downside, it also requires establishing an understanding of consequences, ensuring employees take responsibility and accountability for their performance. Not everyone gets a trophy.
In regards to the lack of diversity - the US workforce is undoubtedly becoming more diverse. As of 2015 minorities makeup about 36% of the labor force. Breaking it down by race and ethnicity approximately 64% in the labor force are non-Hispanic white, 16% are Hispanic, 12% are African-American, and 5% are Asian. Approximately 3% of the labor force do not identify in any of these racial or ethnic categories. Our statistics are not far from this, but we understand that there is always room for improvement. With that being said and in addition to creating a workplace inclusive of race, gender, and sexual orientation (to name a few), we seek something even simpler, approaching diversity problems with a more forthright, open tone. At Team Velocity Marketing we believe in confronting the hard realities and then doing something about it. We believe if we recruit from a diverse workforce we are better able to find the best and the brightest talent needed to compete in an increasingly competitive industry. By bringing together our different backgrounds, skills, and experiences, we are better able to breed the type of innovative and creative solutions needed to succeed.
We apologize that you were unhappy with your employment and certainly wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.
