    Cleveland Magazine has always been the magazine for me - I enjoyed it beginning with the first…read moreissue, first ever published years ago. I picked it up at the newsstand, and later began my year-after-year subscription. I am, kind of a collector of the magazine. However, I recently ran into a very impersonal, unexpected experience, starting with the Subscription Service for Cleveland Magazine, a contracted service (800-453-1009). At the end of December, 2023, I requested the December copy - which was weeks over due in the mail. The representative for Subscription Services said they didn't have an issue to send me because "they get their copies two months or later from the issue date from the publisher." I was told they would add a month to my subscription and I should contact them next year (2024) around March or April! That's the most ridiculous response I every heard from a subscription service. I waited several days and contacted the service again - this time another rep responded: "We don't have the December issue and probably won't get any copies." Frustrated I contacted Dillon Steward, editor of Cleveland Magazine, via his email. No response. I guess my problem, as a very dedicated subscriber, was not of interest to him. I waited several weeks. I sent another e-mail to the group that works under the umbrella of the editorial group at Cleveland Magazine. No response. Last I heard, subscribers to any publication are difficult to acquire . . . .and keep as subscribers (renewals). They are the best, most profitable subscribers. And when they continue to subscribe, year after year, they become the gold group. But the troops at Cleveland Magazine don't seem to care. R. Siedlecki rcsbooks1@gmail.com

    I always read it when i see it at the library or someone's house, but it never really does a thing…read morefor me. The "hot" write-ups of bands or new restaurants are usually about three months too late. Half of the issues like Rating the Suburbs and Best Doctors are extremely boring and the same every year. The best one has to be Cleveland's Hottest Singles. It's usually the cute weatherperson dujour(who soon leave town after receiving this coveted accolade) or ex-pat semi-star who doesn't really live here anymore. Half of the ads are for plastic surgeons and the real estate section is all mansions. Gee, who is their target audience? Oh, yeah, Joe 12 Pack who has season tix in the Dawg Pound. Yeahhh...sure. On rare occasions, they will drop some Clevey history on my ass. But most of the stuff is pretty common knowledge. I guess the reason i always look through it is to be surprised. I'm still waiting. I do approve of them not having much of a political agenda. That wouldn't really belong in the rag anyway. I think they need to cover more local architecture and profile some bands beyond a one paragraph blurb. Try to beat the crappy Scene at their own game. I guess i mean it needs to be edgier. Sure, they'll likely lose their core audience of Westlake McMansion winter snowbird never drive into an ethnic neighborhood go to NYC to spend all their money ass clowns. But they could gain so much more in return. As the magazine with the town's name in the title and the most prestigious spot in the book store/grocery store, it needs to be better. By the way, I love the crime stats in Rating the Suburbs. Lakewood had sixty armed robberies while Bay Village had five scraped knees last year.

    This organization presents significant challenges as a workplace or business partner. There appear…read moreto be concerns surrounding the leadership and management practices within the company. The owner's interactions with the staff have reportedly raised issues of negative behavior, and there seems to be a prevalent desire among current employees to explore alternative employment opportunities. The leadership capabilities of the owner, Andy Halko, have been brought into question, both in terms of his managerial proficiency and his broader business acumen. It's worth noting that his professional background appears to be exclusively tied to Insivia, with no discernible experience beyond his collegiate years. Allegations of misleading clientele about the in-house expertise, coupled with evidence of outsourcing endeavors, further raise concerns about transparency in client interactions. Employee turnover appears to be a recurring challenge, characterized by frequent dismissals and resignations. Discrepancies in the reasons for employee departures have been observed, with explanations ranging from cutbacks to performance-related issues. This discrepancy calls into question the consistency and fairness of the company's internal communication. The company's business performance also seems to be experiencing setbacks, with the loss of several key clients over a relatively short span of time. The owner's communication style, while assertive, has been criticized for lacking effective interpersonal awareness and inhibiting productive dialogue. Additionally, it should be noted that the company's website indicates a workforce of 25 plus employees, which is inconsistent with the actual staff size of less than 10. This discrepancy raises concerns about the accuracy of the company's public representation. It is worth noting that while employee input is ostensibly encouraged, instances have arisen where this input does not lead to tangible improvements but may instead be utilized in a way that undermines or retaliates against employees. This potentially points to a disparity between the company's professed commitment to employee engagement and the actual implementation of constructive feedback. The company's human resources management structure is also noteworthy. The involvement of Andy's wife, Katy, as the HR manager, despite a lack of formal HR experience, raises questions about the adequacy of HR practices within the organization. This may be particularly concerning given her response to situations, specifically pertaining to her husband, that could potentially be viewed as HR violations. Based on firsthand observations as the roommate of a former employee, it is advisable to exercise caution when considering employment or business engagement with Insivia. The concerns highlighted above suggest a challenging work environment and potential limitations in the company's operational trajectory. Those seeking opportunities within the industry are encouraged to explore alternatives that align more closely with their professional aspirations and values. Engage at your own risk.

    I would wholeheartedly recommend Insivia. Their work was creative, slick and polished, and they…read moreclearly had a great grasp of how web marketing is supposed to work.
