More diversity and better management needed

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits are good. CEO has good vision.

Cons

Hire more diversity in VP and above! Too many white males making decisions, and not understanding diversity and how each employee is different. HR really needs to evaluate VPs/ head of groups, it seems they get away with everything and no matter how many people quit or file HR complaints on a manager, there are no repercussions. Employees are belittled for speaking up, and fired if they challenge their managers.
