Toxic culture and unstable leadership overshadow Santa Cruz location

Energy team

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Able to work in Santa Cruz, CA

Cons

The leadership team, especially the CEO, COO, and Leadership Coach have created a cult-like culture based on the teachings of Landmark; discredited as it has been . Toxic culture built around manipulating staff and clients’ perceptions instead of responsibly addressing issues. Lacks a coherent business strategy and operating model. No career development pathways.
