Dreadful Leadership (Stay Away)

Pros

Good medical benefits, Good environment and structure for managers who are not performing

Cons

Toxic culture, long working hours for no reason when you can work remotely. They say they are ok with remote workers but in reality management frowns on this and tries to justify taking remote working away from senior employees. Micromanagement, an outdated tactic relished by dinosaur management to make them feel like they are accomplishing something when in actuality they can’t even help you solve your issue. No empowerment from management many operations managers are like this, they like to play the blame game. Low or no salary increases, no promotion opportunities and management favor males over females. A female executive mentioned at a town hall that there were no qualified female managers as a justification for workplace discrimination. Managers and leaders have exhibited crazy behavior and this is tolerated by HR which is a revolving door . Lack of cooperation, mentality to not value the people and only focus on cost reduction with quality coming later, and abysmal salaries most are underpaid except leadership. In many cases, they turn a blind eye to bad behavior unless it’s an employee they want to axe. Management has no clear plan, empathy or morals and this reflects the high staff turnover. Management’s not focused on performance they are constantly trying to look out for their own interests. Poor communication and coordination between internal stakeholders. Having to work with conflicting messages is a regular pain. Bring more vision and leadership to the company so employees can relate to what it is that they are doing and find some motivation. If you are reading this and have an offer of employment DO NOT ACCEPT! You will thank me latter.
