Cons

The most frustrating thing about Country Pure Foods is the lack of research and business plans. When it comes to new products, we just go with whatever idea a sales manager comes up with for their region-- without doing any research on the benefit to the company and if it will sell in other markets.

Also, there is little room for growth and promotion. Most likely, you will stay in the position you are in for your entire career at Country Pure Foods.

The company does not respond well to new ideas and changing technologies. Also, the sales staff, while experience, is older and does not have any insight on new ways of selling.

Advice to Senior Management

Start giving credit where credit is due. "Lower level" employees are doing work, and their managers are passing it off as their own. This creates little incentive for employees to do better work.
