A&E Networks – “Great product, great benefits, not so great place to work”

Pros

Offers some of the best benefits (health, 401k, pension plan, tuition reimbursement, etc.) Great product/brand you can be proud to say you work for.

Cons

Sr. management support is severly non-existent unless you are in the "clique". Communication is one sided and not consistent. Management has no clue what some departments/business units actually do to keep the business running nor do they express any interest in learning. They often take employees/jobs for granted. Employee recognition barely exists. Achievements at middle management level or below go unrecognized.

Advice to Senior Management

Take the time to learn exactly what each business unit does and how the operate. Spend a day with them and see what they go through to keep company humming. Provide relevant freguent feedback. School Sr. Management in proper people skills and management training 101.
