Unbelievable Incompetence

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent benefits. Low stress because no one is held accountable.

Cons

80% of the company seemingly cannot even do their job. The bar is so low and rather than letting them go they just move people around from department to department; meanwhile, there are a handful of high performers that make the company tick. Nepotism is rampant. Little to no accountability, from the tactical level to the directors. Culture is repressive and built on a foundation of fear. Way behind the curve in terms of the technological tools they leverage because they just cut things and never invest in anything. People in positions of power abuse it.
