Company grew fast and new management people don't 'get it'

Anonymous employee

Pros

Facilities are great. There are many opportunities for associates to interact with each other.

Cons

The company grew fast over the last ten years. As such, additional layers of management and meny new management positions were created. The old school management was appreciative of their people and very personable to everyone. Many people clammoring for their own advancement (who would stab you in the back in the process) are now in many of the management positions. The unfortunate result is that management as a whole is disconnected from the lower level staff and make decisions based more on covering thier own tails than what is good for the company, customers and associates. Basically, 'ethics be damned and don't rattle any cages. Or, 'how can the next decision make me look better" regardless of whether or not the decision makes sense for the company. Really a shame because the company was great 10 years ago.
