Vantaggi
Aside from a few good sales and operations folks, there is really nothing positive to say. The best thing about the place was not having to come back there every day. The organization is deteriorating across all three divisions. Definitely not the culture that the original owner would want to instill in his customers and clients.
Svantaggi
An inept management team relying on outside consultants. Management "claims" to be open door when in fact the only open doors were during "confidential" meetings with consultants talking about organizational cuts and firings. Management does not and did not listen to qualified staff who have either left or been fired from the company. Certain divisions (i.e. International) are . A sad story of what is wrong with American companies being run by venture capital folks who have no idea about growing multi-national logistics companies. Several disconnects between what management expected and what the organization could deliver, especially in the international division. Certain divisions run with a favoritism toward legacy employees that do not have the ability lead the organization forward. This is a place where "execution" doesn't mean acting on a business plan, it means mistreatment of valuable human capital which makes the difference in today's competitive world.
