Great Growth Goals and Opportunities

Pros

LDG has been a great place to work for the past few years. The corporate service team is transparent with their growth vision and goals and does a good job at keeping everyone updated on the company stats. There is room to grow in this company if you are willing to put in the time and effort it takes and don't just expect a hand out. They have done a good job with their recent compensation plan to be competitive in order to retain their employees. Just within the past few years I've been here, LDG has improved with leaps and bounds toward making this a top place of employment. There seems to be a good work life balance that managers are respectful of, and they just implemented summer hours which is also another great incentive, I hope they continue to progress with their employee engagement and retention plans.

Cons

There have been groups that have struggled with employee turnover and having issues with burning out some of the employees, however the company recognizes this issue and is working toward creating a better employee environment for those groups. Also to put it in perspective, those groups are just a small piece of the pie that make up LDG, so the few who had a poor experience here were unfortunately just part of a team that has some work to be done so that they can be brought up to speed with the rest of the company. In some instances it pays to hold out, or furthermore to stand up as a leader and help make those groups successful. If you always do what you've always done, then you'll always get what you've always gotten.

Pros

Decent learning experience, but pay vs responsibility is not aligned with what employees should be earning based on their education, background, and other company payscales

Cons

If your fresh out of college, and you want to earn money do not work here! Company has difficult time keeping employees, their profit margins are #1 priority, employee happiness and pay is last. Lots of extra unpaid survey questionnaires and mandatory training that's wares you out.

Pros

LDG gets how employees make the difference in a service-oriented industry. Lots of very intelligent and highly-capable professionals. Year over year growth is phenomenal (2012 was only exception but they still grew and paid great bonuses out). Learning how to inject accountability into a friendly place which often makes friendly people uncomforable but they're slowly getting it. CEO had the baxxs to tell the entire place that LDG needed to revist the Vision and Strategy created in 2012 as the senior managment team was a shade or two off (not much but enough to be honest and revisit). Sr Management is directly involved in retooling the Vision and Strategy. How many companies would just tell everyone what the Vision and Strategy are instead of involving key leaders in crafting it? NOT MANY!!!

Cons

Communication can always be better. Increase transparency to all levels within the company. Insist Accountabilty gets injected into the firm...do these, be true to your solid culture, and everything else will take care of itself.
