Harness the good ideas of many of your leadership team, not just the chosen few

Advice to Senior Management

recognize the deadwood and find ways to create a high performance org with fewer but better people.

Pros

If personal time is needed, they are very accomodating. While they care about their employees when issues arise or family situations present themselves, they do little to prevent things from happening to begin with. They do give recognition, but only if you play the political game, and think everything is fine (no issues).

Cons

Highly political with borderline incompetent mid-level and senior leadership in certain areas. Constantly in fire-fighting mode, never addressing root cause nor solving the larger issue. Most senior leaders do not think things through, and when issues arise, they still move forward without correcting the main issue, which maks things work. Tons of rework, lost work, restarting, and poor risk managemen.

Advice to Senior Management

Learn to say no or think things through prior to setting dates and scope. Try to not make bad assumptions. Look at root cause.

Pros

1) Learning.
2) Growth Opportunities.
3) Support from Management.
4) Professionalism
5) Team work

Cons

Salaries might be slightly lower than what competitors offer.

Advice to Senior Management

Good work, keep it up!

Pros

Opportunities for Growth
Good Managers
Flexible Schedules

Cons

Volatility of the market affects company/positions.

Pros

The big picture of the company is great, incentives for healthy living, and discounts on many vendors such as cell-phones contracts, daycares, and gyms (etc). Many chances for assisting the community, and donating production time to help local charities. The CEO seems very sincere in his hopes to better the company and the welfares of the employees, as well as their members.

Cons

Communication is lacking. The rating system is disheartening, an employee can receive a neutral/negative rating despite a year of hard, dedicated work just because their manager has to have a certain amount of employees in a particular rating. Favoritism is a constant, and the need to point fingers at anyone other then the responsible party is common practice.

Advice to Senior Management

Please realize that the current rating system is not only unfair to the employees, but to the company as well. If a good employee gets a negative or neutral rating, they do not receive a raise the following year. Many employees have not received raises in YEARS because of this rating system. This company will continue to lose valuable employees until this changes.
