Unsupportive Employee Enviroment

Anonymous employee
Recommend
Business Outlook

Pros

At this time, a paycheck is the only Pro.

Cons

No value placed on non-managerial employees. Work expectation grows continuously without additional compensation or recognition. Rampant managerial favoritism, allowing favored employees opportunities regardless of suitability to position. A Human Resource Department/employees who are more concerned with company image then assisting with employee issues presented. Company wide inability to disseminate necessary information. Employee raises are usually 1% if granted. A small sampling of Cons.

Failure to Execute

Pros

Loaded with capable, talented and bright colleagues.

Cons

Senior management fails to provide resources and set a coherent strategic plan which is then communicated throughout the company in a clear and uniform manner. At times it feels like a pack of squirrels being chased around by large dogs.

Pros

Great people that support each other to get the job done.

Cons

The company began outsourcing their IT department. The "Great" people mentioned above are no longer employed at the company and have since been hired at other companies.
