Good people - bad Management

Pros

Good and kind people here.

Cons

Execs putting a ton of pressure to get to certain numbers to please investors with no true regard for employees. Culture is in a fearful place, nothing feels good enough or appreciated. Middle management feels like they're desperately managing up to please execs. Employees feel 100% dispensable despite the company running on their backs.

Thank you for leaving a review about your experience. I agree with you that our people are our greatest asset. Our recent efforts in restructuring the business have been focused on reducing duplicative efforts in our businesses and establishing a shared services group. These efforts unfortunately mean we must make difficult decisions about our colleagues and teams. The changes we are making to our operating model will enable us to operate more efficiently and effectively, as well as invest further in the products and services that we provide to our customers. I understand that change can bring feelings of uncertainty, but my goal is to lead with transparency and create various opportunities for open dialogue. I appreciate your feedback as we continue to improve. Best, Michael Hansen, CEO
