* Hold more opportunities for collaboration between leaders and employees. Felt out of the loop and disconnected with senior management. Senior management operates in a 2nd set of "locked/closed doors". * Heard lots about the available cash flow and available cash within business (to invest, acquire etc.) but purse strings are held sometimes too tight and provide perception that it’s all talk and little action. *Terrible at communicating to employees. Difficult executing vision leads to aggressive action or lack of action or confusion over what to do. * Over my tenure, I started to feel undervalued and not appreciated. Very much taken for granted and quickly grew out of role with no place to move within organization or plan being offered to grow. I did attempt to open a dialogue but I don’t feel it was taken seriously. * Pay and performance were not balanced. Leaders have been unclear on how to present the benefits of the program other than to say "It's to treat compensation more fairly and not reward those who have stayed with the company for an extended period.". This has resulted in talent leaving the organization and has created large gaps. * Lack of Information Technology team and overall investment in technology. They keep cutting IT folks and reorganizing. Technology projects take longer to deliver, have difficulty meeting expectations and therefore suffer with a reduced set of deliverables and cost overruns. * Due to a stagnant refresh of some technologies, I started to see competing technology and options and a shift in management focus to the hot tools of the week. No cohesive single-sign in or larger narrative is being written which results in business unit after business unit attempting the same projects within their teams with either marginal success or no success.

The current President, Arron Brunko, seems to think his job is to micromanage down to the individual employee level rather than focusing on the big picture and helping move us into the future. He would rather PERSONALLY write individual contributors up than empower his leadership team to work on improving the culture of our company and helping people want to stay.
