I would liken CORT to the modern Mafia. The CEO is the "Boss", the COO is the "Underboss", the Executive Leadership team are known as the "Capos" and then all the other Managers that kiss the butts of those above them are the "Soldiers". If you dare go against Leadership, you are ex-communicated and "voted off the island". Most of the District General Managers and above are arrogant, egotistical and modern-day "Slave Drivers". The overall culture sucks and you'll only get promoted if you're in the "Boy's Club" - Male, over 50, caucasian and balding.
