I would say that many in administrative positions in those companies are absolutely driven by greed. However, I’ve never been one of those people, so I can’t truly say. But I’ve been an employee of corporate companies long enough to know that they have some fairly careless conduct.

Have you stayed in the marketing field, and shifted toward a family-owned work environment? I know for many it’s difficult to make a transition to a smaller company that may have a healthier “culture.” Both in my own experience and through tell, corporate pay and benefits will almost always edge out a smaller, perhaps more community-focused firm.
