Was great, now not so much

Pros

I loved my job and felt good about this company when I first started (2012). There were good people to work with, lots of forward momentum and not a ton of entitlement. We were on a path to do good things. What a difference a new CEO and COO can make . . .

Cons

I'm actually surprised this company still exists. The new management started down a road and did not communicate 1. the changes they wanted to make; 2. the reason they wanted to make these changes and 3. how they were going to make the changes as painless as possible. So no one really knew what was going on until the change was already upon them - no change management or preparation for anyone. It was very difficult to live through this. And in the meantime, the good people were being asked to leave or just leaving on their own unhappily. They brought in people from Europe who had NO IDEA how business in the US works, yet they wanted to follow their structure. No questions asked. No discussion allowed.

Pros

Forward thinking proactive company that provides a swish and functional working environment. Great team work within departments, always provided the correct tools to do the job.

Cons

50% of the Partners were excellent - cared for the business, staff and customers / clients. 50% were either plodding and didn't care, taking advantage of their position or just plain old corrupt
