Pros
Good people trapped in a poor business
Cons
Toxic management behaviour is rewarded Underfunded teams - leadership happy to hand their 'seniors' cost savings and overload team members with work that cannot be completed in standard hours. Continuous improvement stifled by processes (written or unwritten) Hierarchical environment suppresses team spirit Leadership team focussed on nest feathering are unwilling to listen to ideas from 'subordinates' Lack of understanding of modern management techniques Market leading staff attrition rate Poor hiring quality (and realisation of toxicity) leading to high turnover of new hires Non-empathetic HR team, expect a hammer not a hug. Rewards cow-towing behaviour Personal development plans non-existent Lack of awareness of goal or objective setting processes
