Advice to Senior Management

offer more benefits

Pros

You actually help business in getting accreditation with the BBB

Cons

Your never allowed time off, and when you get it you hear about it forever. There is not a team environment. Real cut throat salesforce. Really mircomanged right down to how long you spend in the restroom.

Advice to Senior Management

Be respectful of people. Build more of a sense of family within the team. Realize that selling TRUST isn't easy. Thank you, and encouragement would serve you well.

Pros

Decent hours and work - life balance.

Cons

Executive mgmt change in 2009, and the place has subsequently gone downhill FAST.
CEO has completely insulated himself from staff...a sure sign of weakness.
NO input into major decision-making. NO communication from the top. NO real innovation. Fearful culture. Senior execs all got new titles and pay raises so CEO doesn't have to go through hiring new people (don't think he knows what to look for).

Pros

Great upper management. The hours are great. The benefits are amazing.

Cons

The pay is absolutely terrible. Very micromamanged environment. Very high turnaround.

Pros

Try to provide a service to business community and for the consumer.

Cons

Poor direction and limited budget. The head of the company was not open to new ideas and did not communicate well.

Advice to Senior Management

Be supportive of new ideas, communiate thoroughly and leadership needs to be grooming a successor.

Pros

The work hours are good, and you stay up on what's going on in the business scene in your local area. You do have the opportunity to help bring attention to good ethical businesses, and help consumers at the same time.

Cons

The BBB system can seem a bit dysfunctional. Making any changes for the better can be a bit like pulling teeth. Too many of the people seem content to become a dinosaur. The pay at a small bureau can be pretty miserable.

Advice to Senior Management

Get on the same page. The world is going to pass you by.

Pros

Very good place to work

Cons

Did not make production goals.

Advice to Senior Management

Be more understanding with environment.

Pros

Very good for public interest work, a lot of client contact, contact witht eh public as well as business owners or their reps

Cons

Not very good or beneficial for career advancement. Strict scheduling as well for a job which does not return the favor

Advice to Senior Management

I realize that attracting and retaining staff must be difficult, but for a company which does not, albeit, they cannot, pay very well, management needs to be more flexible if they seek to lower attrition rates.
