Pros
There are still enough good people hanging on in hopes of returning to the "good old days" to make work sometimes enjoyable.
Cons
- Execs blame sales for their own errors. The executive team made poor decisions and continues to double down on them rather than admit any kind of mistake or make adjustments. To make matters worse, they actively place blame on sales and others who bear no responsibility for decision making or for the company's cultural decline. Leadership has dug their heels in and no longer listens to feedback from client facing staff or even to clients themselves. - sales and deliver teams are forced to make false promises to clients. Teams cannot deliver on the new stated value propositions due to lack of staffing, lack of understanding of clients, and ridged rules for client engagement. This leaves sales to decide between making false promises and being blamed by leadership for poor delivery or being honest and being blamed by leadership for not selling the false promise.
