    Pros

    This is still a simplified representation, and it might not fully capture the complexity and interactivity of your system. If a more detailed and accurate visualization is needed, a specialized tool or software might be more suitable for this task, such as system dynamics modeling software. Alternatively, you might want to consider working with a professional with expertise in systems modeling and visualization.

    Cons

    n this diagram, different shapes represent different types of loops: user-related loops are rectangles (blue), provider-related loops are ellipses (green), and system-related loops are diamonds (red).

    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Great compensation and benefits Great People to learn from Great work culture Great brands to represent

    Cons

    To grow in the company, who you know and who supports you plays a big role. They do not have a great cross-functional development program. If you start within one function and grow in it but want to transition into another, you will get passed over for someone in that function also applying because its less training they have to do.

    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Some great people and highly intelligent co-workers, good pay and benefits, some great brands

    Cons

    The company doesn’t seem to teach anyone how to manage people so many individuals who are good “doers” get promoted simply because they can hit numbers yet have no business managing others. Team unhappiness is simply overlooked as long as growth is being generated. Politics run rampant here with global vs local often fighting and people jockeying for power. It makes the environment exhausting and burns employees out.
