Pros

Some groups within Direct Materials Procurement (TWO) have great, caring leadership.

Cons

Absolutely no respect for employees- public shaming is normal in front of department and teammates (including in front of CPO). This is the largest issue with leadership. While the company is preaching "role clarity" and "health", there's a butt-in-seat expectation on the teams with mandatory meetings starting at 7am. Deadlines which are not achievable are given, especially at the close of the year. Relationships with suppliers are easily tested to close financial gaps. Environment is INCREDIBLY hostile/selfish with the facade of "coaching". Lack of respect/coaching is apparent with sole focus on savings, and there's been recent preaching of this changing, yet actions and meetings are focused on JUST THIS. Lastly, there is a very large rift between Category Management and Business Units which is perpetuated by individuals which have been around in the company and are not leaving, so a change is incredibly unlikely and has not been apparent in the last year.
