Gap reviews

Seasonal planning can get repetitive. Not too easy to move to different business function. Systems were slow.

Due to the notability of the company as an International force, management takes the approach that each individual is undeserving and lucky to be in their position. Expectations are often not set, and when not met, the employee is not given direct and appropriate feedback. The level of communication is low, and any recognition or feedback comes as a result of company mandated awards. A highly competitive environment, employees are often placed in direct competition with one another in a team environment. This creates a situation where team members are less apt to work together, share ideas, but rather work in isolation. I have also seen something with HR and management that is very disconcerting-once they have targeted someone, that person has no chance of improvement. Whether it is a performance issue, a personal issue, or simply they have been gossiped about and it has caused friction on the team...that person will be terminated or made miserable until they go. I have seen many people who are incompetent in their positions who have been there for years, and some who are only there for a few short months. There is no rhyme or reason. But this is certain, someone always needs to be a project.
