Wheres all the Talent Gone?

Managing director

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Large, visible franchise that always looks good on a resume

Cons

A very tiny minority are served by a large dis-enfranchised employee base. Its all about moving quickly enough to avoid responsibility. No sense of support or creative thinking. Move quickly enough or re-organize and no one can be held accountable. Getting by on historical, innovative view of Guy Carp, not the reality that over the past 10 years its become a slow growth, bureaucracy who size has caused it fall over on itself. Just look at the number of Vice Chairman or Heads of this or that, its nuts. The Best young and middle level talent doesn't remain for more than 2-3 years.

Pros

If you are a broker or high level executive, it is a great company to work for. With a new CEO and CFO the past year, they may add new value and direction to the company.

Cons

If you are an administrative or support staff, you might feel being left out. a) Minimum training b) Company is always looking for ways to reduce staff and save money c) Company is implementing a lot of new software but it is not being use to its full potential
