Svantaggi
Management encouraged a culture of secrecy and deception
Management often fired employees who told them truths they did not want to hear
Total lack of trust between management and employees and vice versa
BAS rarely if ever was able to stick to production schedules, so key products are frequently out of stock with no reliable insight as to when customers can purchase them again
Severe mismanagement of funds. BAS it prudent to expand its sales team, while being unable to afford business cards for existing team members or provide an accurate estimate as to when product would be back in stock
Extremely toxic company culture created from the top down.
