- ELT is so insecure that they put down talented and ambitious people
- ambition and dedicated to career growth is treated as being selfish and not a team player
- Bro’s club is an understatement when it comes to trying to become a leader or have a voice. The only voice that gets heard is the loudest in the room and there is no hesitation to speak over you
- CEO is a bully who is incredibly belittling, inappropriate, and manipulative. He makes people trust them and then tears you down, attacking people’s self esteem with the power. I left with a very low perception of myself and it took years to build back
- so much drama... fueled from the top, which is ironic since one of their core values is “no drama”
- loyalty means sit down and shut up/agree. Which is also interesting because another value is mutual respect
- “senior leadership” must agree with owners at all times
- pay is not competitive, and when you ask for promotions it is seen as a personal offense vs business negotiation
- always 2 steps away from real growth
