Poor Direction....Disconnected from their people

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent money. Good Benefits. Flexible Schedule. Rewarding work.

Cons

Poor culture. Unrealistic goals. Lack of transparency. Poor strategic direction. Senior leadership disconnected from reality. Poor market access. Lack of necessary tools to win. Lack of vision towards the future. Too many cooks in the kitchen. Advancement opportunities are posted but are already flagged for someone who has the "connections" to those already in power. Rewards are not based on results but rather on knowing the right people.
