Nice job, upper management not so nice.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits, good pay, good training, great people to work with. The position was challenging and enjoyable. Most people in other departments were very helpful.

Cons

Upper management. They took a business that was thriving and expanding, fired the people in charge of sales for the branded product, and did little to support the brand. Sales that had been on an upward trend reversed direction for many years due to lack of understanding of how to manage the business.
