Phoenix Advertising has approximately 250 employees. We have six branches in addition to our Charlotte, NC office: Salt Lake City, UT; Roanoke, VA; New York, NY; Denver, CO; Seattle, WA; San Francisco, CA.

Our Mission:

If there is a need for additional staff notify me so we may begin the hiring process. Alison should develop a plan to create a timeline for the project workload that is currently causing the staff to work extra hours. Joseph will need to ensure that all customer complaints that have come in thus far are handled in a timely manner as to avoid losing any accounts. Also please come up with a customer service incentive for this branch to keep all staff and customers happy. I will oversee the human resources department in managing employee relations and ensuring that all staff is thriving. A detailed report of all of your findings, corrective actions and if needed new procedures needs to be completed and returned to me no later than July 31, 2013.
After my review of all the reports, we will have a meeting with our executive officers to review the status of the Roanoke branch on August 8, 2013. If we all work together effectively I am sure we can resolve all the issues and ensure the success of the Roanoke branch.
