One person can destroy everything good in this company

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The staff are absolutely amazing, friendly, warm, and genuinely one of a kind. You really feel comfortable working with them. The commission is fairly good

Cons

There is excessive micromanagement, especially around attendance and office presence, with focus on things that have nothing to do with actual performance or work quality. • Hiring decisions are sometimes based on personal connections rather than qualifications, bringing in people who are not fully qualified just because they are easy to manage. Authority is then imposed on teams through these hires to maintain control. • The company lacks a clear roadmap and long-term vision, which creates confusion and uncertainty for employees. • Overall, the environment no longer feels fun or inspiring to work in mandatory, adding pressure without clear benefits. • Unfortunately, the company feels like it’s heading in the wrong direction, and I wouldn’t recommend it to others at this stage.
