Antiquated Company with little or no communications

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Many remote positions even prior to Covid. Unlimited vacation which meant nothing during Covid.

Cons

No communications at all -- between brands, leadership, employees. No collaboration between brands. Uncertain and inexperienced leadership. People in leadership positions who shouldn't be. Use EXTREMELY antiquated applications, software and tools. Have an agreement with a registration tool which is decades behind the times. Hurts all brands. Pay is not competitive. Absolutely no training for these antiquated systems.
