      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Compensation, health benefits, retirement planning, vacation and loyal workers.

      Cons

      This company is shrinking and there is a constant fear of people losing their jobs. This uncertainty drives a lot of negative politics. There is hardly any career growth and the limited amount of opportunities are held for friends of friends. The company does not promote or reward based on merit/performance. The company is trying to improve its balance sheet by reducing headcount without any concern for lost talent. Key talent is also leaving because of the environment. It won't be long before the only employees left will be the ones no company should be retaining.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Friendly, hard-working staff Staff shop Annual conference Established, globally recognised brand Many chances to be promoted - this is due to high turnover however

      Cons

      Poor culture & high turnover - when leadership asked what they were doing to address this, their answer was "we have implemented a HR policy around this" Lack of leadership - most of senior leadership have left in past two years - draw your own conclusions why - as a result, lack of direction from leadership team on tough decisions Short-term focus by leadership to chase unrealistic targets. This has lead to under-resourcing at the expense of brand equity and employee happiness caused by crippling workloads Poor work/life balance in many teams due to employees leaving and this being absorbed as a 'saving' instead of the position being filled Technology is caught in the past decade - needs to catch up
