- Zero opportunity for advancement if you are not old college friends with management. Promotions & bonuses are based only on the "buddy system" & nothing to do with performance = no incentive to excel.
- French-only mentality. Global markets are ignored, underfunded & mismanaged. Management pays themselves useless, superexpensive International business trips with zero understanding of foreign markets instead of working with a local experts.
- Rampant & noticeable racism. If you're not French & not upper management you'll be treated like a second-class citizen.
- No innovation in systems & processes cause everyone knows each-other & thinks the same way & no one is willing to take risks or see what other companies are doing & try something new.
- Overpaying for old & obsolete technology. Zero IT and digital expertise in-house & Major purchasing decisions are in the hands of newlygrads with no real experience learning as they go.
- No listening to what the market or customers want.
- Tone-deaf communications, marketing and social media. Typos, errors and mistakes in everything that goes to the public.
