Pros

Lovely headquarters building located on a bog and great for walks during lunch, co-workers that make the place bearable (at least for now)

Cons

Dysfunction across the company with Leadership not taking ownership of the situation. Instead, the situation has been blamed on Marketing Directors who have been let go in droves. No coaching or training, just figure pointing when business issues do not get resolved.

Thanks for posting. As you know, “Own” is one of our core values, empowering our colleagues to drive our long-term strategy. That business strategy is the foundation of our goals individually and as a company. Training, development and communication are embedded in our culture too, with opportunities for everyone to learn and thrive in this transformation. We agree, hearing from the folks doing the work is key—our Town Halls, Let’s Talk sessions, upcoming employee engagement survey, performance development trainings, learning labs and much more support that important conversation. At the end of the day, it’s all of us together who will drive our continued success.

My team was great to work with.

Cons

Unorganized, production and other staff ruin the schedule to cause issues for others. No help is given when asked
