MRA - The Management Association Reviews

The CEO and top management of this organization lack the basic skill to lead effectively. If you are a yes person and are agreeable to whatever uniformed decision they make, you have a future in this organization. The CEO and top management like to pretend at being top executives while the old school organization plods along surviving. Top Management is two faced,hypocritical, and very thin skinned. As employees, we shared what they said and did behind closed doors and always knew what they were really about. it wasn't flattering. I and others stopped giving suggestions to improve operations and avoid problems but their was always subtle retribution. The message was "If you don't agree with us, keep your mouth shut" They are slowly eroding the revenue in Minnesota after an acquisition as a direct result of top ineptness.

One department in particular has had almost 100% turnover twice in the past 3 years. 3 people left voluntarily within a month of each other, the department's manager left a few months before that, and each person that left advised HR/upper management of the department supervisor's inability to effectively run the department and support the employees. Instead of taking all of these people seriously (including the remaining employees, many of whom echoed the sentiments of the people who gave their notice), management then FIRED 2 additional employees, claiming they were too negative. In addition to horrible management, you hardly get any days off (which doesn't make sense for an employment association claiming to use best practices), and the benefits are different depending on which state you work in, which doesn't really make sense.
