Advice to Management

Senior management in finance is ruining this companies reputation. Before the new cfo came and brought his friends the administration was respected. Now employees walk around talking to each other about how leadership doesn’t value them. They push out good employees just to hire their friends from other companies with little to no experience in the industry.

Pros

It is Good size small to medium. Currently it not process oriented, and more content oriented. Overall good culture

Some other reviews on here have had a negative outlook management and I would like to be utterly clear. The management of this team is fantastic. They absolutely do not force an undesirable permanent position on you. Management works with you to find a position that both the employee and the company are happy with.
