Vantaggi
Great severance packages! In Dec. employees are allowed to wear jeans everyday. Summer flex hours are available; however, very few take advantage due to meetings and deadlines. Employees are recognized and rewarded with plastic coins.
Svantaggi
Senior management alienates, divides, creates fear and uncertainty vs use influencing skills. Many VPs withhold information, release selectively, and use it as a weapon vs share information freely. They identify only with clones of himself or herself vs gets on well with people at all levels and from all backgrounds. And there is lies the difference between management and true leadership. Employee advocates no longer exist - HR should not be allowed to follow marching orders. Instead HR should provide solutions to assist and develop employees. HR professionals have 3 roles: administrator, cop, and consultant. Too often at the company, they focus on the first two and neglect the third – making matters worse.
