Absolutely no one cares for the little people

Pros

Flexibility, good systems, some good people around.

Cons

No people focus whatsoever. The same generic “where people matter” chants up and down the hallways, All people activities as purely a check the mark exercise.

Good interview but management style did not match interview’s presentations

Accounting manager

Business Outlook

Pros

I loved my team. I worked with some great people who really cared about the company and mission and gave it their all every day…even beyond working hours.

Cons

Upper management turned out to be micromanagers which eroded confidence that my team had for me. My work, even every word I said was picked apart and put down, even if it couldn’t be proven wrong. If it came from someone else it was accepted. I had to quit too soon for my mental sanity. Employees were also overworked and expected to put in many weekends and after hours on a consistent basis.
