Too much management, minimal leadership, look elsewhere!

Pros

Pay is good and so are benefits. Company will provide job training. Everyone in the company knows the good the bad and the ugly about management.

Cons

NO WORK LIFE BALANCE. This company is filled with managers who serve no actual purpose other than to collect a paycheck and treat employees like ants that they watch and burn with magnifying glasses. Management = HUBRIS From the middle managers there is no true care or concern for the customers or improving the company. From the upper management there is just a lot of arrogance, and finger pointing. Imagine a company filled with intelligence in control, truly exquisite leadership qualities in managers, wonderful communication throughout and from their head quarters, and then think that will never be the description of this chaotic and disorganized place. Overall a lot of bad employee morale, backstabbing, deceit, and no true care about customers from 90% of the management. As long as there is someone below them to keep blaming upper management will continue to be selfish with their motives. This is a German company and there is bad communication from Germany. Upper management is really clueless about how to treat employees on a personal level. Most managers seem to hate their jobs and it shows. If the management wanted to fix problems then they'd send out anonymous surveys but instead send out BS surveys with options that are not accurate. Majority of managers have no leadership potential. General consensus that majority of managers are not needed. Typical management positions here are not traditional roles or duties. Not a healthy environment especially if you're looking for a career at a company. Let's be honest there are many other places to work and have an enjoyable time with people that care for their customers and feel that they are doing something good for the world and their fellow man. THIS IS NOT THAT PLACE! I can only think of a few useful and genuine managers who know their role in the company and actually know how to serve the customer.

Pros

Aside from good employees, few pros to mention. Some great people to work with.

Cons

Memo from President/CEO informing San Diego employees that there will be no raises for 2016. So nice to be recognized and rewarded for hard work and dedication.
