Promising performance overshadowed by high turnover and morale issues

Pros

Overall business gaining market share in Europe, seems to be performing well. Certain teams function well

Cons

Very little staying power. Hired huge number of people on decent packages to revitalise a business, then as soon as it had a bad couple of quarters recriminations flew around, morale sank and employee turnover surged. This happens again and again at this company.
