      (Corporate) Managers with valid degrees versus managers w/o a valid degree

      Experienced analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Corporate employee benefits, work/life balance, easy work, great medical & dental insurance

      Cons

      Ineffective, inconsistent, inexperienced, incompetent, unethical management, employees w/degrees vs managers w/o degrees at Corporate level, non-degree toxic covert narcissistic managers should not become managers with the sole intention & enjoyment on using & abusing power & control over others. A bad manager can take a good staff and destroy it, causing the best employees to flee and the remainder to lose all motivation.

      Nov is a large company with no mentoring for career advancement. No bonus structure for hard working employees. No career advancement. HR is poorly trained in hiring skilled employees. Upper management is poorly skilled in structure and holding accountability for their errors in better business sense and lack of leader ship.

      Pros

      Good health insurance, getting better in 2016. Good 401k match, after you wait a year, if you can stand it that long.

      Cons

      Clueless management. Micromanagers. Poor processes. Dysfunctional organization. Crappy office locations. Very low performing culture (by design). No concept of how to change.
