Distance, way out of the way for most Nashville workers.
Atmosphere - ties and button up shirts for men, but the women are almost PJs some days.
Fractured upper level management. I had exposure to middle management from a couple of different directions and I know one of the executives is big on leadership theory and education. Unfortunately his middle managers instead of bringing him the exciting news that they have some real challenges to solve today, seem to be vested entirely in pointing the finger at each others failures to make them look good, and hiding incompetence. Because of the distance to get there, hiring quality people is hard. Because they will not address bad hires in a timely fashion (it might reflect bad on the middle manager), its even harder to keep the quality people. During the exit review, HR was aware of the issues, but took every opportunity to town down the real issues that need to be solved.
