Pros
(Tried to share this October 16th but didn't go through) I just met the CEO Jim Kavanaugh after a meeting with his warehouse family to discuss and get feedback about things that could be better. I am insanely impressed with this humble gentleman. During the meeting he took ownership of the things that can be improved upon and sincerely listened to his people ask questions and give feedback. After the meeting I approached him and asked for a few minutes in private to discuss something and he said absolutely. So i walked away to allow him to meet and shake hands with all the people excited to see him and after that he came to me and listened to what was on my mind and heart. I want to share with everyone that he was very attentive and genuine in our discussion and was very engaged in brainstorming solutions to what we were discussing. This is only my fourth job ever with long tenures at my previous three and I have Never seen a CEO come listen to his people and take the time out of his busy schedule to meet and talk to someone as he did myself today; maybe that's because the other CEO's don't have the heart in it as much as Mr. Kavanaugh does. To say the very least though, this is not a job to me; this is the beginning of my career and as if I wasn't already happy to be growing here, meeting Mr. Kavanaugh face to face and personally engaging with him has cemented with me that this is the type of leader that I want to make as proud of me as I am working under him. :)
Cons
Sometimes it just takes a few bad apples to ruin it for everyone.
