Disconnected Senior Management

Anonymous employee

Pros

Great Co Workers in the Regions Growth Oriented

Cons

Senior management in the Global HQs is completely disconnected from the Regions. Politics reign supreme and it's not what you do or what you know but rather who you know. Many decision makers not familiar with how the business operates or the true market dynamics. This leads to top down decisions that hurt employees and customers.

A case study in Corporate Greed

Pros

Creating an environment rich in opportunity to conduct a Harvard case study in how to destroy employee trust, loyalty and eventually productivity. Financial results illustrate how to drive results through eliminating retiree benefits, with the impact serving as a direct reward to Senior Leadership in the form of amended Long Term incentive bonuses.

Cons

Centralized management structure destroying cultural value. Leadership team unable and unwilling to bring balance to dictatorial management process driven by Mr. Martens. Lack of integrity characterized by misleading and incorrect statements made regarding the elimination of retiree health care.

Pros

Good people, overall. Amazingly still have some solid performers.

Cons

Despite a tremendous market that is developing this company will find a way to underperform. Have financed large parts of their expansions by slashing benefit packages.
