Poor Leadership, lack of cooperation amoung departments

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Working for a noble mission

Cons

Very poor organizational structure, causing a lot of inefficiencies. There is very poor leadership in National, and chapter turnover is extremely high. Top leaders are very stuck in their ways and do not welcome new ideas. There is no sense of comraderie in National. Every man for himself, regardless of for the better good of the org. The blame game is a big thing here.
