Business Outlook

Pros

Great business model but poorly managed.

Cons

This company is plagued by the worst leadership imaginable. Leaders lack training, exhibit zero leadership skills, and prioritize self-interest over team values. Experienced hires are stifled and micromanaged, leading to abysmal morale and poor mental health among employees. Company culture and values are nonexistent, with executives from a bygone era at the helm. Furthermore, there's blatant bias and unequal treatment of staff and clients. Avoid this company if you value your sanity and career growth.
