Flexible hours and growth potential, but leadership struggles

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible hours, unlimited PTO, in a position to really grow after a few really rough years.

Cons

Too many "yes" people near the top. VPs and directors want certain things done that they assume it will get done even if you show them hard evidence that it's not possible. If you give them a time line, they assume you can do it In half the time which is not how I work. Also there is a lot of " the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing"

Extremely inefficient, unorganized.

Pros

Staff are very friendly. But be aware because some can be extremely two-faced.

Cons

Missing key US markets and to increase overall revenue. Focusing on the wrong business.
