Pros

Monthly meetings to review where the company stands financially and look at prior month's results. Strong compared to other companies in the industry.

Cons

Mixed messages from senior leadership versus middle management. The strong culture has an underlying tone of traditional management by fear.

Pros

The excutive team is accessible. (The CEO sat in a cube, just like the rest of us) They hire only the best & brightest. Recognition seeps through the walls at GALC. (I'll never forget the exitement of $100 bills being handed to each employee by the CEO upon reaching a seemingly impossible goal) FUN! FUN! FUN! The opportunity to cross-train within a team is promoted by executive management. Upward mobility is attainable. Team managers are hand-picked, not only by the executive team, but by would-be team members. What's more, if all the worker bees were hit by the proverbial bus, every single manager, director, executive - even the CEO - actually know how to execute every aspect of the business without flaw.

Cons

Upward mobility can sometimes be driven via what seems to be a popularity contest. The company has done so well, and expanded so rapidly that faces can be lost.
