Lots of Growth Opportunities

Business execution consultant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of growth opportunities due to restructuring, preferred promotions from within including a mentorship program. 3/2 hybrid model. Employees are the most friendly and supportive you can find.

Cons

Significantly low moral due to offshoring and new core location model, unstable executive leadership with borderline ethics problems, and lack of transparency regarding future goals of the company. Rumor mill runs rampant. There is currently no employee retention program.
