      Worst CEO in the company

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      None, the CEO is a greedy POS. OK there are some good things about the company but thaey are all leftover from the Bruce & Dave CEO days. At one time the company was run in a way that treated employees with respect - long time & ex-employees will remember the compelling place to work, shop and invest tag lines. Now Steve Odland is showing what a one trick pony he is and basically did the same thing to ODP that he did to AZO - try to cut costs to improve profitability and the expense of employee morale and customer service.

      Cons

      Senior management - milking the company dry for their personal enrichment. CEO compensation 13 million while stock goes from $40's to sub $2 - what's wrong with that picture? Take away's over the years - employee stock options, employee stock grants (which initially replaced options then vanished) annual bonus program, annual merit raises, company 401K match etc. Despite the crash in shareholder value, declining sales and shuttered stores and distribution centers the company moved its head quarter from perfectly acceptable digs in Delray Beach Fl to a nre hundred million plus glory palace in the rich neighborhood of Boca Raton FL.

      Service Profit Chain or Greed.

      Pros

      Location. South Florida is a great spot. Unfortunately the corporate retail and IT industry is thin here.

      Cons

      Current economic position is significantly impacting OD. In turn layoffs, lack of resources, increased responsibilities without compensation, are all leading to poor morale. For some years now the annual merit increases have resulted in raises that have not matched inflation. Financial quality of continues to decline at this rate.

      I love my job on a day to day basis.

      Pros

      My immediate boss is the best resaon. He makes or breaks the job. And the flexibility. I have a home office and can work at my laptop at 10 am on a Sunday if I want. My customers are the best. It is a lottery ticket every time I walk into a business in my hometown - a chance to make a new customer and/or a new friend. I have learned a great deal about how a large company operates, previous to this position, I had never worked for such a large institution. It is great to sell something every company buys - it makes them all a target.

      Cons

      Right now things are not good and I am hoping that they are on the upswing. I am told by those who have been around much longer that the pendulem swings both ways and now it is WAY to the bad. Upper management seems to be interested in tracking activity levels instead of productivity. My boss and his seem to have had their ability to make the decisions taken away from them - they do not get to run this market - it is run out of the corporate office. My bonus and goals are chosen out of thin air it seems - no way to track if they are correct. Morale is very bad and I am sicki of hearing everyone crab.....
