Leadership Titles Do Not Replace Leadership Training
Pros
Family-owned organization with a traditional ownership model. Willing to invest in employees.
Cons
Lack of leadership support, clear expectations, and structured onboarding. No formal orientation (no company overview, org chart, or handbook provided despite requests) made it difficult to understand the organization and effectively support employees. Training relied heavily on observation with minimal hands-on practice, and learning needs were not accommodated despite being communicated. Requests for clearer guidance, check-ins, and a defined path forward were labeled as push back and not acknowledged. Overall environment lacked psychological safety, and concerns about training dynamics and communication were recognized but not addressed.
