GOO Needs a Tremendous Amount of Work

Pros

Benefits, health clinic, telecommute, team-building activities

Cons

Employees are hired, promoted, and able to move into new roles simply based on gender, friendship, family, and not based on qualifications, experience, or core values. Leadership needs improvement. Decisions are made at the top without much thought given for the potential impact of disruption in employees’ lives. Throughout the leadership structure, information is misrepresented, twisted, or miscommunicated. False promises. Employee development – even though the organization strives for employee development, there are members of leadership who criticize employees’ decisions for wanting to move into new roles. Pay is below average for the amount of work that is thrust upon and required of GOO. Operational processes are mind-numbing and not well thought out for long term success – endless spreadsheets, forms, emails, changes, lack of communication/miscommunication, inefficiency, lack of organization. Lack of accountability - GOO is oftentimes thrown a mess and expected to make it work, while there is little to no accountability for other teams. GOO suffers while unqualified/inexperienced leaders continue to ineffectively lead their teams. Lack of tough conversations on employee development/improvement. Problems are ignored.

Thanks. Global Order Operations is definitely going through some significant changes. I've sat in on some of the communication meetings and I believe there is genuine effort for full transparency. There is a lot of work to do and I know the team appreciates your support. Thank you again.

Pros

Full-time hours Money is decent

Cons

A lot of drama from peers Management isn't good unless you are "friends" If you get harassed you need to deal with it, but upper management won't, and then you will get backlash from everyone. Takes forever to get PTO

Pros

Core values - The Path Benefits People Culture

Cons

LTC is infected with bad management, gossiping, blame game and turfism. The toxic environment has affected employee productivity and morale. Investigations to gather information and seek details are led by the wrong people. It's a waste of time! LTC employees are staying quiet when they could be helping the company. Why? Fear of retribution. Employees are afraid of demotion or dismissal. Lack of credibility from the senior leadership has created an unpleasant atmosphere: motives are unclear, intent and behavior do not align. And what happens when you have a member of leadership who can't do the job? Nothing.

Thank you. We are planning for our VP of HR to have offsite feedback meetings with LTC employees in the coming weeks. We hope this will help facilitate confidential and candid feedback on what we can do to address the concerns. More to come and thanks again.
