Country leadership needs improvement

Executive

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Normal salary & benefits. Not the best

Cons

Lack of clarity and transparency from top leadership especially when company goes thru integration. People are worry of uncertainty and demotivated however no action from leadership. Even after 5 months of new management took over, no townhall was done to communicate on direction and plans.

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

somewhat decent hourly pay for people in lower leadership and not close enough to be decent but manageble hourly pay for associates. Overtime if you like that

Cons

- never see you families/partners again - company over camaraderie -mental and physical health are not prioritised and not important over the customer/client contract -Management treats you like a number instead of a human being - not allowed to speak out against inhumane conditions or mistreatment - corporate HR has been compromised and doesnt care about your well being - Exempt employees (salary paid) are REQUIRED to work overtime without any compensation. (working 30+ hours outside of regular 40 hours) -Administrative office personnel and in-house HR (P&O) treat warehouse employees like lower class uneducated subhumans or worse than dirt. - Consequences if you report Administrative personnel, management, or leadership for sexual harassment or assault
