Limited Brands is too thin on talent and number of associates due to Jul 07 reorganization - Recensione dipendente - Director of FP & A presso L Brands

1) Work/Life balance was all talk when recruited and not a reality once hired. 2) Few insiders get promoted- sr mgt (hired from the outside) tend to bring in people they are familiar with from past companys rather then promoting from within. Outside hires are usually talented, however, the current qualified associates don't get promoted for their hard work and the company has to overpay addl $ for outsiders. 3) Numerous egos and Alpha dogs to navigate. Need thick skin to survive and succeed. 4) Botched the reorganization Jul 07- cut with a chainsaw to save $100M annually and lost many of the best and brightest mgrs/directors/VPs. Those associates that remain are overburdened and now the company is hemmoraging talent because too much work and not enough associates.
