Poor leadership - Adminstrative Assistant CallisonRTKL Employee Review

Pros

The employees at CRTKL are wonderful. Friendly, supportive and professional. The company supported full time remote work during the pandemic.

Cons

Leadership is inconsistent and chaotic. They are big on announcing "new directions" but nothing ever changes. Accountability is emphasized, but leadership and supervisors fail to set examples by their own behavior. All talk and no action. Suggestions for how to improve systems (at no cost) are routinely ignored. By ignored I mean absolutely no response. It's as if you don't exist. Leaders seem to try to demonstrate their worth by being too busy to get organized. All tasks are urgent, even though they could have been handled in an orderly fashion with a tiny bit of planning. Leadership encourages employees to speak up if they see a problem. My observation is that employees who speak up soon find themselves let go. Better to stay quiet if you want to keep your job.

Pros

* Opportunities to work on international projects and for new employees to freely share their ideas. * Leadership that not only guides design but also supports employees in becoming better professionals and people. * A great LA office environment with a fitting salary. * An office team with excellent skills and knowledge, and great teams that are easy to work with.

Cons

It seems that incorporating more trend-forward designs could lead to even better results, but as a newcomer, I found it challenging to overcome the established methods and the specific direction and style clients wanted. Nonetheless, they consistently delivered solid outcomes.
