Boys Club

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Lower level coworkers all care and are good at their work.

Cons

Management is a boys club. A white boys club. Just check out the social videos and most of the bylines! There are very few non white people or women getting voices in any kind of decision making and it shows.
