      They regularly sack people as part of their financial planning. Come join the team if you want PTSD!

      Pros

      The people you get to work with are amazing - until they get fired.

      Cons

      STOP THROWING THE BUILDING IN OUR FACES! This place is a horrible combination of The Hunger Games and Survivor. Recently, another 100+ people were voted off the island. People that had been there 11, 15 and 16 years - so believe me when I say, loyalty means nothing. We were told it was happening this time instead of letting us figure it out as people around us disappeared (novel change) and we were told that, once again, it's to make finances meet. What they don't do, is fire the executives that make the poor financial choices, just those forced to execute them. We were reminded, again, that a few years back, when we were asked to vote on this beautiful building and we all raised our hands in favor. Let me make one thing perfectly clear - when we all raised our hands, we were all under the impression we'd be in it TOGETHER for years to come. Those that were next to me that raised their hands ARE GONE and we are once again told "the building needs to mean something". Well it does, it means broken lives and people being interviewed for new positions at the same time that you were sacking 100+ people. You read that right. Speaking of interviews. They will definitely woo you. Packages of swag, tours of the campus, free lunch, they really roll out the red carpet. Enjoy that day, because I promise that's the last time you'll feel that important. Anything after that day is "May the odds be ever in your favor"

      I would like to respond to several points this writer made. a) We reviewed our strategy, selected and arranged our projects to support it, and backed into our workforce needs: as a result, we learned that we were long on some skills, but short on others. b) Loyalty means a great deal. Our recruiters first tried to fill positions from elsewhere within our firm, as a way of driving expense reduction without RIF. We also looked hard to find people within our current workforce who, while they might not have just the skill of which we were in short supply, might come up to speed, and could be retrained. This has all been going on in the background for months, and is why approximately 100 people have shifted positions to elsewhere in the firm in recent months. c) Nobody was "voted off the island". We have introduced a 360 degree review process where your colleagues give you feedback, and we provide training that will (we hope) work on flat sides your colleagues identify. However, precisely 0 of that data was used in this recent RIF. All the choices were made with consideration and sensitivity by our SVPs working with our VPs. d) Yes, it does all matter. If all we cared about was selling of Retail then there would hardly be reason for this recent Reduction in Force. It is just the opposite: because we run Retail on the principle that we are going to own it forever, and need to bring its expenses back into line with market realities (which includes a bizarre copy-cat competitor who hast lost $195 million - $250 million - $600 million (I estimate) in just the last three years. It is never fun when one has to make choices such as those we just came through. Yes, there were some wonderful people who had been here for a long time. My obligation is to see to it that the best choices are made for the enterprise as a whole, and for those who remain to carry on the mission. Of course I feel terrible about the lives which get disrupted. I have done me best to minimize the disruption (this is a great job market in Utah, so that helps), to see to it that decisions were made fairly and on a properly informed basis, and to end up with the workforce that most closely aligns with the mission and our evolving understanding thereof. Very respectfully, Patrick

      This company is so unorganized and it comes directly from their management team.

      Pros

      The good people are amazing, unfortunately there are only a handful of good ones in each department so I don't know if you can consider this a pro.

      Cons

      The place is a hot mess. I don't even know where to start. They haven't figured out that your management team should be the best of the best, not who can talk the loudest. Most of the management team can talk a great game but when it comes to actually doing anything they look around like they are lost. Management does not understand that part of managing a team is managing people not just processes. You can't expect to have a functioning team if first, you don't know what you are even doing and second, you want to sit behind a computer all day not knowing what you're team is actually doing. Then to top it off you get upset when things aren't going to the plan that you have created while you have been hiding behind your computer. You can't lead a team if you do not know your team. It blows my mind how a management can sit there and blame everyone else for their failures and point fingers at everyone but them. Yes everyone is accountable for their own actions but as a manager if your team fails you fail. That's what you take on when you say yes to a management position. When I am speaking of "management team" I am talking from manager to director to freaking vice president. When there is an issue there is a proper chain of command to go through to get it resolved. Well at least there should be. It's sad when you walk into you VP office to talk about everything cause no one is listening and even the VP gives you BS excuses. At that point you give up. You go back to your desk and wait for the storm. This used to be a great company to work for. When I first started I was so happy with my job. I didn't mind that it was stressful and busy because the people and management made it worth to. I have been there many years and I have slowly watched it self destruct. Breaks my heart to watch something you love get destroyed and people are to egotistical to listen. I hope Patrick takes some time to really reflect on the company he has created and why he created it. Because from where I sit, it's going downhill fast. From day one he has always talked about the people and how this company cares about the people. That statement isn't true anymore.

      Thank you for taking the time to submit your feedback. We’re sorry that your experience here is not to your liking. We’re always saddened to hear that there are colleagues who feel the way you do. We are listening. Here are some things that we’re working on that address a few of your concerns: - On a quarterly basis, leaders review their team’s performance with the entire management team. Even though you may not attend these meetings, please know that each member of management is, in fact, held accountable for their team’s outcomes by their colleagues. - We are working on strengthening our company’s leadership development program through our Learning and Development department. Since you are part of this training team, I encourage you to get involved with this initiative. It will benefit from your perspective. - We will soon be launching a new internal peer review tool where every associate will be able to share feedback about their colleagues with whom they work frequently. It will be a way for all of us to identify our strengths and recognize opportunities for improvement. We will become a stronger organization because of it. Finally, as I am the VP over the training team, I want to personally apologize for ever making you feel that I was giving you excuses. I will try harder so that I can avoid giving that impression in the future. I hope that we’re able to turn your experience here into a positive one.

      Not a good place to make a career. Stay long enough and you'll be cut like the rest of us. Leave before this happens to you!
