New Upper Management: No Innovative Changes

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great name to put on your resume. If you’re not a manager: you will have plenty of job duties and an expanded skillset to add as bullet points to help you get a better job elsewhere.

Cons

Favoritism runs rampant here. Shift from a hierarchical org. to a matrix structure and yet there’s an unspoken chain of command firmly in place. Completely inaccessible and clueless CEO. VP’s that spend endless time rehearsing speeches about innovation, promoting change, building the brand, and customer centricity, and providing transparency. Lots of new buzz words and very few deliverables or ROI to back it up. Lots of talking about wanting feedback....and yet any employees that dare to step out of line and speak to anyone but the manager they report to will be harshly reprimanded. Most of the upper management here spends a majority of their time and efforts making sure to get face time with parent company and “sell” how important and vital they are to the company’s success.

Reginal HR brought on site to ease safety and quality concerns still no changes

Pros

None if you’re trying to stay alive and if you take pride in products that you make for the consumers

Cons

Blatant disregard for safety and quality. Employees are routinely asked to disregard personal safety and quality rules in order to meet productive requirements. When employees who have firsthand experience with the situation reach out to management their ideas are routinely shot down. Recently Corporate sent HR to investigate safety and quality claims, but as soon as they left it was back to business as usual

Pros

They upper management says great pay, no other company, pays that way, but yet. Heaven forbid you would have to work in that environment.

Cons

Upper management and HR will cherry pick who gets to talk to there bosses when it comes down to them being called out
