1. General lack of direction. I never had a handle on what MC did, what they were going after, what kind of companies they work for, or why they were doing this work at all. This leads to low morale, confusion, and lack of buy-in from employees. Their website makes it sounds mission-forward, but those are just words that don't actually translate to any kind of meaning or culture.
2. Unqualified leadership. Some members in leadership don’t seem to be experts in the fields that they are in. Very confused about the skillsets of leadership.
3. Very, very poor internal communication. From welcoming new employees, to discussing project timelines, there was little to no communication.
4. No employer retirement contribution
The result of all of the cons listed above leads to HIGH TURNOVER, which has the following consequences:
a) Low quality work that gets passed from person to person, with no defined handoff process.
b) Poor relationship with clients, who have to work with multiple project managers, account directors, etc on a given project.
c) Current employees give up on trying to get to know new employees.
d) Transient-feeling environment where everyone is simply a “resource” that can easily be swapped out.
