to avoid - Area Manager Polar Electro Employee Review

Very great environment find people to work with

Short staff not enough managers

Good work/life balance. many good people

lack of leadership & strategic direction inferior product and not fast enough to innovate poor management afraid to rock the boat. a few really negative people and managers too non confrontational to let them go. created this atmosphere that was really bad. sales team: in the field was really passionate about product. but no support. nat sales, some good some bad. marketing team: all of the talented ones leave for bigger things. ALL OF THEM.. leaving only people who don't understand fitness markets. went through multiple restructures from bad to worse. Happens every 4 years without fail. In my time: 1st: "leadership" left entire control to a bipolar tirant woman in HR. had her fist in everything and made everyone in the company miserable. 2nd: "leadership" would sell their soul for a buck. which resulted in really poor product placement and manufactured growth with zero sustainability. extreme poor decision making, good old boys football coach mentality. very low intelligence. this all the result of a few really bad people in parent company making decisions on future of a US office.
