Pros

Some really nice people in the CT, AMS and Cebu Offices

Cons

1. Many SVPs are incapable of performing at the mid management level. No clue how to create a business plan, seek feedback or define realistic goals 2. Liars in the leadership team - when you do not hire for an open position it is not categorized as a cost savings; telling people they will occasionally need to work long days then scheduling calls at 6 AM and 10 PM routinely is disgusting. Only HR and IT avoid 18 hour days routinely, IT because they have good leadership, HR well - who needs them? 3. It is better to be liked than right. God help you if you identify true issues and present solutions that your 'leader' cannot understand (hello Ops) 4. Behavior - I've witnessed senior leaders berate their employees and worse talk about their employees to peers "this is unacceptable, if I were them I would be afraid" what 'leader' talks like that? Set expectations, provide support and be professional 5. Benefits are expensive 6. You have Six Sigma designations? GREAT!! Will you ever use them? Nope

Pros

Employees are extremely positive and surrounded by a lot of hardworking individuals. Most people are trying to do a good job and move the company in the right direction. When necessary, the company is great about unlimited personal/sick time and plenty of ability to rollover any unused vacation time. Sometimes, there’s a lot of downtime, but it’s becoming less common.

Cons

The executive team’s leadership is severely lacking. Despite their inability to navigate the organization effectively, they continue to demand upward mobility for their employees. When employees are unable to meet these expectations, they are subjected to harsh criticism and unreasonable demands. The executive team prioritizes its own interests over those of the employees who are responsible for the work. Issues are only addressed when the executive team is directly affected. The organizational processes are inadequate. Employees are constantly required to reassess procedures and provide explanations to every level of the company. There is a lack of overall direction and a sense of individual autonomy within each department. Departments operate independently, resulting in inconsistencies and difficulties in achieving alignment.
