General Managers can be really old fashioned and out of touch with advancements in management. Some still operate with the fear notion. Where it is good for employees to fear you.

Continue education in management. They think they know more than they actualy do. Also don't ask your employees personal questions.

Advice to Senior Management

Throughout my tenure at this organization, I have learned that by simply raising the pay scale, the less efficient and effective labor units would slowly be faded out whereby a productive and beneficial work force could be implemented. This would mean that management would have actual time to complete tasks assigned to them, while knowing that their work force was not inebriated or simply, sleeping.

This is a company that takes care of there own.....You are able to grow within the company always striving for more...

Cons

Depending on your job you might have to work ver long hours but you are compensated for the time put in...Especially if you just started there might be many nights you spend doing reports..
