Pros

Benefits, health clinic, telecommute, team-building activities

Cons

Employees are hired, promoted, and able to move into new roles simply based on gender, friendship, family, and not based on qualifications, experience, or core values. Leadership needs improvement. Decisions are made at the top without much thought given for the potential impact of disruption in employees’ lives. Throughout the leadership structure, information is misrepresented, twisted, or miscommunicated. False promises. Employee development – even though the organization strives for employee development, there are members of leadership who criticize employees’ decisions for wanting to move into new roles. Pay is below average for the amount of work that is thrust upon and required of GOO. Operational processes are mind-numbing and not well thought out for long term success – endless spreadsheets, forms, emails, changes, lack of communication/miscommunication, inefficiency, lack of organization. Lack of accountability - GOO is oftentimes thrown a mess and expected to make it work, while there is little to no accountability for other teams. GOO suffers while unqualified/inexperienced leaders continue to ineffectively lead their teams. Lack of tough conversations on employee development/improvement. Problems are ignored.

Thanks. Global Order Operations is definitely going through some significant changes. I've sat in on some of the communication meetings and I believe there is genuine effort for full transparency. There is a lot of work to do and I know the team appreciates your support. Thank you again.

Pros

Great early years culture… Smart / Top Tier Talent and Capabilities

Cons

Lost what made them special… culture made obvious shift from “People are our Greatest Resource” to “We are a Numbers Driven Organization”… Think that corporate event closing comment changed around 2018/2019
