Really Incompetent Leadership

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Work like balance was good. Work from home when necessary. People (peers) were mostly nice.

Cons

Executive leadership doesn't know if they are coming or going. They are incompetent for the areas they are supposed to be responsible for and this includes the CEO. They make terrible decisions that waste millions of dollars and then just say oops. Then they lay off good workers to reimburse themselves. Stay away unless you just want a call center entry level job,

Pros

good benefits, good vacation credits, decent pay

Cons

So many people, good people, not low hanging fruit but exceptional employees hit a certain salary threshold and then are let go without reason and management won't share, just casually suggest that said employee was not doing a good job. Some of these people had 30 plus years and were let go without explanation, just called into a five minute meeting and told to clear their desk. Director level and above have no idea surrounding core business, very task focused and refuse to listem to their staff and insist that the staff are just a bunch of "whiners". Very toxic. Employee engagement is an exercise by management in trying to figure out who said what based on the feedback, rather than actually listening to the feedback.

Bad Company

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

I'm unable to think of anything positive about this company.

Cons

Management is horrendous at everything. They discriminate against women's rights and give the men higher pay and promote them but expect women to do more. Human resources will cover up if you file a complaint and then develop a plan to terminate you. Stay away from this company, save yourself some dignity.
