CEO for a day - Katz Direct


            Since a lot of the work done at Katz Direct requires communication and a cohesive work environment, there cubicle walls were specifically built to be lower to allow this interaction and sense of community to occur. Though the constant murmur of chatting can become distracting at times, the low walls ultimately help with productivity. People are able to ask each other questions about the work assignments and it winds up relieving of the monotony that often corresponds with a cubicle/office environment. If I were CEO there are a few things I would change about the office set-up. Every level of employee that works at Katz Direct are on the same floor of the building, but I actually did not find out who was whose boss until the last day. Regardless, everyone was treated with an equivalent respect. The company could maybe benefit by closer interaction with the television stations (advertisement buyers). The only current interaction is through e-mail and the Excel/DDS system, which can actually sometimes get passive aggressive. Also, as far as the internship went, I felt as though I would often spend a lot of time with no work to do. I would have been happy to have taken on more responsibility and I’m sure the company could have used an extra hand in some areas.
