DEI efforts appear to be merely for show, marked by concerning and ignorant language. There is a noticeable lack of financial commitment to DEI activities, and diverse teams are non-existent.
There is a pervasive presence of internal conflicts, and the leadership team lacks substantial alignment. Ambiguity regarding responsibilities is widespread, causing undue stress, along with significant delays and outright failure. This ambiguity also results in frequent micromanagement from various sources which hinders progress and causes significant damage to relationships.
The company culture, despite being professed as a "family," is inauthentic, if you do not live in Omaha, you will be treated differently.
Across the organization, there is a deficiency in skills, particularly among senior leaders who have not pursued further education and lack initiative or responsibility for learning.
The organization suffers from a significant lack of baseline processes, tools, and frameworks, lagging significantly behind technologically. This technological lag results in inefficient internal operations, confusing and overwhelming communications, and loss of revenue/clients.
Furthermore, job security is a perpetual concern, as the company will engage in job cuts at the end of the year to meet budgetary goals, tossing 'valued family members' out the door and leaving remaining employees, who have been through or are near burn-out, to shoulder additional and significant responsibilities.
