Advice to Senior Management

listen to your employees

Pros

The employees are friendly and helpful to customers and each other. Many positions offer a 4-10 schedule. There is usually a small bonus at the end of the year.

Cons

The board and management do not care for the employees at all. They only want to reduce costs, by forcing retirements, slashing benefits, and shedding employees. Meanwhile, they are paying their managers $169,000 to $300,000. Vengeful and petty managers have most employees walking on eggshells.

Advice to Senior Management

You do a great job of hiring excellent employees. However, in order to keep them motivated, there must be room for individual development and opportunities to advance. Please consider instituting goal based evaluations focused on quantifiable measurements. Please make sure the important changes, especially procedural, are clearly communicated to all employees and proper training is offered (this has been improving). Morale has been an issue for a while now. That, in particular, needs to be addressed.
