Scholastic reviews

Empty castles in the air. When they need you, they will give you the salary that you want and requests you to start almost immediately. When they want to terminate you, reason given was "company restructuring". Next moment, a new guy was hired for a similar position. Unrealistic and achievable sales targets High staff turnover. Messy processes, lack of innovations. Always reactive, never proactive. Management is lacking in ideas to build up the company.

The GMs are there because they know how to read a P&L. If they can make their region money, they are golden. They are NOT there because they have management skill of any kind. Threat management is the norm. If they want you gone, they will resort to anything - talking behind your back, giggling as you walk by the "in crowd" or trying to intimidate you. Dishonesty was rampant, and extra-marital affairs with the call center girls was constant. Managers get 100+ emails a day and attend 6 conference calls per week, to the point where actually managing and developing your people was de-prioritized and impossible. But that's OK, because who cares about them? It's the brillance of the managers that really make the company run, right?
