Great people, on task management

Business Outlook

Pros

An understanding of needed modernization and the will to push in that direction. Open to employees making decisions when needed.

Cons

Hybrid schedule changed from two days onsite to three shortly after I started. I am concerned they will go back to 100% in the office, but that is a concern, not a fact.

Business Outlook

Pros

The company itself has a lot to offer. My opinion is that most people seemed happy in the various departments. I would givears are based on the company, not HR, which would be 1 star.

Cons

The HR department is about 20 people yet everyone is relatively new except for one. People in other departments commented to me a few times that HR had lots of attrition and "they have a problem". Fakery in HR and relational aggression is tolerated. They want to apply HR best practices across the plant and dealership but in reality it is still a personnel department and can´t set the example themselves. There´s a narcisisst/manipulator who thinks they´re a 'spiritual advisor' and who thrives on worship and sympathy from others, managing up and across but kicking down, and.... going places! Everyone else either turns a blind eye and/or facilitates the behaviour.
