Pros

Great teammates who genuinely cared about each other and getting the job done to the best of their ability.

Cons

Fear based leadership with poor communication and covert bullying. People were afraid to speak up and when they did their ideas were shot down if they didn't conform to exactly how the leaders wanted things to get done. Command and control micromanagement with no permission to make any independent decisions. One of the individuals responsible for the department demonstrated emotional instability by having a meltdown in a meeting when someone shared some bad news. They would also tell you how disappointing you are if you didn't meet their expectations even though those expectations had never been adequately conveyed. No one is responsible for others' feelings and using words like disappointed is completely inappropriate in business and disempowering to your workforce. The leaders of this group gossiped, had favorites and would badmouth people on the floor. Everyone was just a pawn and there didn't seem to be any interest in developing the talent so they could advance in their career.
