Cons:
- Career development - Dialogue with Managers around career growth is non-existent. If you aren't helping people develop and grow then you shouldn't be in Management. This needs to be a non-negotiable competency for promotion to a Manager role. LinkedIn learning is available but to be done on your own accord and outside of work hours.
- Performance Feedback - feedback, either positive or negative, is not provided (even when asked for) for what appears to be an inability of Managers to effectively communicate with their direct reports. Feedback needs to be a two way street. No Manager should be above asking how they can improve from their team. Annual Performance evaluations are a check the box activity and not a way to inspire and develop the employee base. As one of the core values of the Company this is an area that is significantly lacking and is a frequent reason for talented employees are leaving the Company.
- Female Leadership Presence - of the VP’s of higher at the Company I’d be willing to bet that less than 10% are female. There are some areas of organization where that number is less than 5%. There are too many smart and talented females here that are not being pushed in to leadership positions. This talent has, and will continue to, leave for other opportunities.
