- We went from bad to worse in a year!! From being led by a couple of self-centered machistas to being led by someone who is very focused on and rooted in Mexico with little vision of the region. An American office in Miami that is being run the Mexican way. Very discouraging for those of us who were making a career with a more global vision.
- Hasbro in recent years has become a more progressive company. A company that understands the social changes that are taking place in the world and how these affect not only how businesses are run but also how they affect employees. However, these changes that are applied and encouraged from headquarters are not applied by the leadership in the Miami office. The are two parallel companies, one that sells you ideas of progressiveness (HQ) and the one that tells "they do not apply here" (Miami). Example; the dresscode. When you have a general manager that indirectly dictates how they should be dressing and if you don't follow, it affects your chances of promotion. On the other hand, the flexibility of working from home. Nowadays it should be an option, but when you have a leader who does not know how to manage based on results but on physical presence as a kindergarten, it is very difficult to believe that we are going for a progressive path at same pace of other trend setter companies. Don't get me wrong, in the Providence office you can have all those perks and benefits, but for the Miami office, it does not apply unfortunately! Very old school oriented!
- I was hired in the US to work based in Miami, but for some reason, HR for the Miami office was in Mexico. So, if you're not there good luck!! Back when the machistas ruled the office, it was very difficult to address an issue because for the Mexicans that was the normal (the way leadership behave)
