Pros
Predictable workload / always something that needs to be worked on
Cons
I keep hearing “it’s hard to find good help” but isn’t it really “it’s hard to KEEP good help”? So many legacy employees are leaving and likely for the same reasons. There is no clear path forward unless you’re “in” with the in crowd or a brown noser. Even then, it’s not a guarantee. The Goal posts keep moving. Expectations keep growing without growth in title and compensation. Successful employees only earn more responsibility without alignment. During peak upper mgmt pushes for harder, faster, but still accurate work. Raises are announced in February but do not go into effect until July. Managers openly complain about being overwhelmed. Hard working/ highly successful hourly non commission employees get a pat on the back while Sales reps are being rewarded with Flava-Flav style solid GOLD medallions. CEO Drew Wilkerson said in a recent quarterly town hall that his message to employees who are considering leaving is “Tell them good luck!”. That attitude trickles all the way down stream. Now, great - if not exceptional- employees are telling the company “Good Luck without me!”
