Pros

Decicated coworkers working incredibly hard.

Cons

The most damaging issue is the absence of a clear plan connecting the company's high-level goals to the everyday work of different departments. Leaders set overall aspirations but fail to provide specific, actionable goals for business units, leading to confusion and wasted effort as departments essentially operate in a silo without a unified purpose. This is compounded by constant, disruptive changes in plans and leadership. Decisions are reversed or initiatives are abandoned before anyone has a chance to see them through, creating a cycle of chaos and preventing any strategy from gaining traction. Ultimately, this instability and confusion directly lead to a people crisis. The continuous churn and lack of direction overload the remaining staff, resulting in high burnout and an exodus of top talent. When the most skilled employees leave, the company loses critical knowledge, making it even harder to execute plans, while simultaneously increasing the workload on the remaining, already exhausted team. In short: No clear strategy leads to constant chaos, which results in overworked staff and a loss of top performers. Recommendation to Prospective Employees: If you have a good, stable job, stay far away. Only consider joining if you thrive in absolute disorder and are looking for a short, intense experience on your resume.

Pros

The few Managers that care about their employees

Cons

Morale at all time low, along with a very anxious culture. "Leadership" with no leadership skills, no processes in place, firedrills. Lack of listening to employees that have ways to win. Too many 'yes' folks and not enough, 'is this right for employees and the business' folks. People in higher up positions that shouldn't be. Complete and total lack of accountability on upper managements part. Everything is shoveled down to others with demands to work weekends and be on call 24/7/365. Unrealistic goals constantly set that make no logical sense - the data even shows this. No raises, no bonuses (except for management, maybe) due to poor 'leadership' over past years. New 'leadership' is operation based, so anyone doing any actual work is now drowning in reports that get looked at once then they change their mind about what they want. Utterly ridiculous and shameful.
