Company gone bad

Director

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay, great PTO, great people at director level diwn

Cons

VP’s in Corp office are unprofessional with zero consequences, in fact cover ups are frequent. Don’t look to HR for support, they are part of the problem. If you prove to be better than your boss it’s like you will be eliminated. (I left on my own) Sadly this was once a great company that valued employees. Ironically, now that employee development is part of the strategy, the culture is worse. People are treated like pawns in a game to raise share holder value. Sacrificing pawns is no big deal. CEO is the biggest culprit and may look as gentle as a grand father but acts more like The Godfather.
