Pros
Staff care about their roles and always do their best
Cons
no integrity from leadership lack of short, medium, long term strategy buying sales by discounting which is destructive to long term business micromanaging, to the point of delaying orders with undue processes by CEO no trust no flexibility - eg. if you need to visit a doctor the company deems that you have 4 hours per year to do so, however this time must be exchanged for your annual leave or paid back in time to the company. overpromised in interview regarding existing business.. commission payments.. targets.. 'stretch' targets.. bonuses.. heavily reliant on 'gifting' business no brand building culture over ambitious targets, without realistic re-forecasting secrecy around production and product - no product training for sales team, instead told to read brochure. staff turnover extremely high. CEO fires on knee jerk reaction to being challenged or confronted. Expectation of staff to share hotel rooms when traveling to trade shows. Working hours 8am - 430pm w/ 30 mins lunch Mon - Thur & 8am - 230pm Fri with 20mins lunch - constant clock watching as staff are terrified of repercussions. staff product allowance every 3 months, but only after passing probation. Communication of change is drip fed in, with no transparency so staff are constantly scrambling to unrealistic timelines. No praise or recognition unless you are within the tight inner circle
