Dysfunctional management

Business Outlook

Pros

Great vacation policy, and good work environment. Good causes and passionate company.

Cons

Dysfunctional management, too many schizophrenic projects at once, with little unity and direction. Too many consultants without proper rules to manage them - costly mistakes are allowed to continue. Compensation is lower than average.

No commisions, No incentive

Business Outlook

Pros

The only pro at this time, is summers off.

Cons

Management does not know how to manage. If rumours of no commissions are true, incomes will drop. Micro managing of staff has become the main objective. Monitoring every phone call , and giving scripts, monitoring bathroom breaks, e-mails are now highly discouraged, even if your customers request them. Favorites get away with anything.
