Vantaggi
Free shoes. Real life lessons in how NOT to lead and manage a company. If you are interested in watching a company implode because of egos and personal agendas, this is the perfect place for you.
Svantaggi
Extremely poor leadership who do not lead by example. They fill all key posts with their cronies either from Reebok or Tommy Hilfiger, with many lacking the necessary qualifications and experience. Case in point - Asia Region Management Team is staffed mainly by Brits with limited knowledge of how to lead in Asia. No interest in collaboration, understanding on the ground challenges or doing the right thing. Only interested in protecting their expatriate lifestyles and flying business class everywhere. Even worse, they paid themselves a special bonus when nobody else got a bonus because of millions of dollars in bad debt write offs. Would rather spend money on limousine transfers and fancy hotel suites than on employee development. Very short term view and no strategy whatsoever. People who are strong performers (based on hard KPIs and business results) are fired for no reason. In short, the people at the top have no idea how to lead and manage, but way too arrogant to admit it!
