Bad leadership

Pros

Great product and fun team to work with. Terrible leadership kills company.

Cons

Bad leadership. They do not know what direction they want to head in to. They let Operations judge accounting. Never wise. Leaders should understand each team is there for a reason. Let Financial leaders judge accounting performance not others.

Pros

Great people, quality products, paid well, good place to advance quickly. Had a positive culture and fun environment in the early 5.11 days.

Cons

No work life balance, too much drama, executive management is clueless. Too many objectives, little time to implement, hard to feel proud about your work.
