Toxic Culture due to poor leadership and sales decline

Pros

Free coffee, some very good colleagues and friends.

Cons

Very toxic and "blaming" culture. Upper management does not engage with or listen to anyone other than direct reports. Constant change of strategy, management and priorities. I had 2 bosses that reported to 3 different direct reports to CEO in two years following merger. Distribution is pretty simple concept but current management doesn't seem to be able to grasp the concept. Too often any sale was more important than selling what was in warehouse causing inefficiencies. Also appears to be a push to reduce inventory, including high volume items, causing stock outs To many middle management and not enough actual producers ( sales, customer service, etc.). Since merger synergies have not materialized as promised to Wall Street, as well as decreasing sales YOY, the only way to make numbers look halfway decent is to get rid of human capital. Many of the pre-merger employees with skills with decent, and justifiable, salaries were either run off or let go for younger, lower wage employees. Training was very poor.

Pros

decent pay if you have worked there over 20 years and managed to work your way through the ever so slow scale of increases

Cons

Seems like they like to cut corners and bring on Managers that have no clue or little ethnic when it comes to managing a warehouse full of grown men, Sad that the managers that have been here all have left for lack of pay, but the ones that have no knowledge of running a warehouse are the ones that they keep and praise holding them up like a trophy when in fact the trophy they are holding up is truly Tarnished beyond repair.
