Business Outlook
Pros
- Still strong sales people who can make large deals with restaurant chains. - Located right next to the trains downtown.
Cons
- Challenged with high turnover in key departments. Poor hiring decisions resulted in mis-management and project failures. - Employees openly disparage SVP and CIO. - Construction of a "new office" was a huge distraction for many months. - Technology is out of date. - New products from the business consistently fail with many initiatives just being re-branded ideas from the past. - Salaries are generally low.
