Pros
One senior manager really seems to care and she tries to improve things for her employees but is being constrained by what she is allowed to do. The office is in a good location and a lot of the people who work there are really friendly and easy to get along with.
Cons
The great favouritism of certain departments and people - as seen in the Nov 14th ‘Sales Executive’ post some departments are given more praise and rewards (dinners, incentives, congratulatory emails, bonuses) and their achievement are put ahead of others through methods such as the sales boards when marketing makes as many sales and are not appreciated enough for that. Sales and sponsorship probably have the lowest turnover. In Other departments people are very dissatisfied and not compensated enough for the work they do. People are always going after each other - also seen in the post I mentioned. No one works to help each other and it makes working together so much harder. Sales and sponsorship think they are above the other departments and nothing is ever their fault and they can be very rude and big headed which is just fed from the CEO and the systems in place. CEO - he does not manage money or people well. The company never has enough money to pay for events but are happy to pay for expensive dinners for certain departments. He is also very old fashioned and is holding back change which would greatly improve the company. It might be nice that we all have apple computers but some departments don’t have software that is essential to their. Also pretty much all positive reviews are requested by the CEO to try and improve the impression of the company to balance out the real negative reviews which shows the feelings of the vast majority of staff.
