Great Team, Dysfunctional Leadership

Business Outlook

Pros

Wonderful people, good benefits, competitive pay.

Cons

It is surprising that an organization this well respected can be so completely dysfunctional. Leadership style across departments varies dramatically. While some managers are wonderful leaders, others are in dire need of additional training. Operations is a mess. Communication cross-functionally is non existent. Most employees are severely undervalued while others are promoted and kept in their role to the detriment of the team and those they work with. Teams are not given the tools they need for success. Zero investment in additional training or continuous improvement. Overall, culture is resistant to change and very reactive.
