Puppet leadership creates yes team and toxic culture

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Work/balance life is ok, but overshadowed by cons as the cons make you feel trapped

Cons

GM lacks character, trust, and vision. He is a puppet to ITW corporate and will deter/back-stab anyone with more potential and vision than him, which puts us all at a virtual stand-still. That also creates a toxic culture and a bunch of "yes" staff. Promotion is very limited except to those yes people; if you are over 40 then forget about it.
