Pros
There are a few passionate, skilled people that work hard to make the company better. There is a desire to be innovative and create brands that people love. The baseline business is highly profitable and ensures company stability.
Cons
The senior leadership team is incredibly inexperienced and short-sighted, which works against the efforts of others to make positive changes. An outdated culture of favoritism, dishonesty, yes man mindset, and toxic/immature behavior hinders real growth. A complete lack onboarding, training, or even basic job descriptions leads to confusion and constant org chart changes. Team leaders are very young and lack relevant experience. People are promoted rapidly without proper training and expected to perform without clear direction or success metrics. Zero process, accountability, or consistency in day-to-day activities means that every initiative/project is a moving target with no planning or documentation. The benefits are antiquated, with very high OOP healthcare costs, no retirement plan benefit, and paltry bonuses.
