Pros
-Good vacation -Telecommuting policy -lower ranking people understand and care for their customers and co-workers
Kontras
-no 401K match -no merit increases -unrealistic personal and business goals -commission structured so its unachievable -not honest, sneaky --makes decisions to strong arm affiliates, customers and employees (ie rather than layoff, change commission structure so its unachievable forcing people to lose 40 - 50% of overall pay... as a means to force them out instead of a layoff - no laws, no unemployment, no severance... ) -doesn't appreciate product knowledge in existing employees -doesn't train, have policy effectiveness, etc -too much red tape -way too many layers - work in silos (right arm does not know what left arm is doing) -business planning is not well thought out and too focused on short term -Sales teams reorganize every 6 months to a year - major layoffs, people can't reach goals bc very unattainable, accounts are reorganized all the time, sales staff doesn't get proper training, etc etc -makes counter-intuitive decisions to internal teams compete -communication is poor within the organization -roll outs are not well planned, executed or communicated -executive leadership is weak, not strategic (thinking that copying competition is strategy), too idealistic, changes strategy too quickly never giving a strategy time to work, changes middle/upper management too frequently and makes drastic changes with poor planning
