Granted there is not a lot of content, but this is the future - TRANSPARENCY. I know the corporate executives, legal, PR, etc. often freak out when the idea is pitched to allow employees access to such things...but I would say take advantage of Job Vent and CorporateGrade by pointing out the sites to your employees and encourage them to post. This is a more sure way to get a lot more positive feedback...and it becomes a recruiting tool by allowing candidates a sneak peek into the company. As it can be anonymous, the company must take responsibility for negative feedback and through comments on the feedback show they understand and are trying to remedy the situation. Focus on being authentic...to allow the public to see the flaws is admirable and will attract people who want to be part of the future of your company (perhaps fixing the flaws).
