Pros
Some hard-working and nice people. A few solid product lines.
Cons
CEO lacks critical business acumen, is emotionally driven, and is unable to separate personal from business. These behaviors infiltrate the culture resulting in an unprofessional, fear-driven, gossip-filled culture. Her leadership team consists of "yes" people, and they make decisions based on personal feelings vs. what is best for the business. There is a difference between fast-paced and chaotic. This company moves very slowly, and output trickles. Irrational and emotional whim decisions, led by the CEO and Senior Leaders, result in unexplained changes to plans, expectations, and staff daily. Employees do not know what is expected of them from one day to the next. Effective communication across the organization is lacking. Most company meetings focus on "feel good" moments when the reality is a lot different. Employees are afraid to surface real issues or problems. Backstabbing and CYA have become the norm. Leadership and company success starts at the top. The senior leaders are focused on their image and growing their "next." They have a disconnection from the reality of the daily life of employees. And it is felt, talked about, and known by all employees across the organization. Sadly, this company is being run into the ground by poor leadership. It has the feel of something that "once was."
