Kayser-Roth reviews

-Toxic executive leadership created a culture of fear, stress, and constant uncertainty. The company president's management style negatively impacted morale across the organization, making day-to-day work unnecessarily difficult for many employees. -Frequent layoffs, budget cuts, and ongoing restructuring left employees feeling perpetually concerned about job security. Teams were repeatedly asked to do more with fewer resources, resulting in heavy workloads, long hours, and occasional weekend work without meaningful efforts to address staffing needs. -Communication from leadership was often inconsistent, with priorities changing frequently and little transparency around decisions. Employees were expected to pivot quickly, even when strategic direction shifted from day-to-day and week to week. -The organization remains highly top-down, and new ideas or alternative approaches were often met with resistance. Many talented employees became disengaged because they felt their expertise and feedback were not valued. -Benefits were expensive relative to the compensation offered, particularly for employees based in New York. Health plan options were better aligned to North Carolina employees than those working in NYC office. -HR appeared to have limited influence in addressing employee concerns involving senior leadership (mainly the president of the company), which contributed to a perception that accountability was inconsistent across the organization.
