Flexibility exists, but promotions favor friends and family

Ops associate

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The flexibility was somewhat good.

Cons

If you aren’t family or part of their circle, you won’t move up. There’s a significant number of employees who have left because they don’t get a promotion, instead they give it to people who are either friends or family of management. The management will be the downfall of this “once” great company. -They took away vehicles (not how HR mandated) managers picked and chose who they wanted to take them away from. -Yearly reviews are a joke, the way they compensate does not reflect how hard you work or how much you do. They will still give a higher % to favorites.

Winning the race to the bottom

Director

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Some really great people to work with. Customers are great.

Cons

Unclear strategy poorly executed. Poor leadership that doesn’t understand the importance of building relationships with customers, employees and suppliers. Losing market share multiple years running. Cutting employee's year after year leading to extremely poor morale and a group of employees going through the motions. There is no “ownership” among the employees.
