Pros
- Dedicated teams in the field doing their best under pressure - Gained valuable insight into what not to do as a leader
Kontras
- As a manager, I witnessed firsthand the lack of accountability and professionalism from senior leadership - Raises are minimal or nonexistent, no matter how well your team performs - Culture of overworking employees without recognition or support - Leadership repeatedly stated that industry standards don’t apply because BrightView is a public company - Constant gossip and power plays among senior leadership, especially the VPGM in the Great Lakes region, who fosters a toxic and divisive work environment - Decisions are made based on politics, not performance - Employee morale is dangerously low due to job cuts, and turnover is high—yet leadership shows no urgency to change
