Limited leadership awareness undermines good employee culture

Pros

Unlimited pto for now. Some Good people

Cons

Where to begin. CEO is very out of touch. Since he started the benefits that made the uncompetive market salaries worth it disappeared. The president (THL plant) is worst and belittles anyone he speaks too even the interns. I’ve seen people cause issues/outages and get promoted the next month while hard workers are pidgin hold.
