Vantaggi
There are a very few, competent directors here with excellent leadership qualities that could easily turn this location around should they ever be given the opportunity. Majority of hourly workers are fine people dedicated to the company's mission.
Svantaggi
Los Angeles operation is absolutely suffering for ethical, competent, and intelligent, leadership. Worst management I've ever worked with. The majority of managers/directors lack a basic Business acumen, have horrible people skills and unbelievable egos. Those promoted into management positions tend to be unqualified and ill-prepared for leadership roles. There is a culture of favoritism, fear, and distrust that create instability within the organization which often results in underhanded business tactics. Be prepared to have your career and reputation destroyed at any moment because most VP's and Directors can't manage their managers. Managers that are capable to lead are reluctant to do so for fear of being targeted for competence. The company struggles with direction, communication, and effective decision making. Unskilled labor is routinely hired for skilled positions. It is common for managers to rely on "Procedures" to replace experience and proper training.
