No incentive to stay, no incentive for new talent

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

You're pretty much left alone until you make a mistake.

Cons

No raises, no reviews, forced to use vacation time to fund acquisitions (to benefit the CEO's ventures), pay is significantly below market, no budget to incentivize new applicants, let alone compete in the industry. Oldschool environment, no company culture, management refuses to acknowledge the inevitable implosion. New CEO does not even acknowledge or care to know the people who work here, doesn't even say hello to anyone who is not a director. We are of no value to him. No opportunity for growth whatsoever.

Pros

A great Supply Chain Director. Small company environment and family atmosphere. SMART is a service oriented company with no direct competitors. Good relationship with Cisco's memory procurement management. Good benefits and stock options. Bonuses provided quarterly and performance based.

Cons

Better salary compensation required. More positive feedback on a job well done when people jump through hoops for the company. Better team collaboration required. More job growth opportunities required to keep good employees.
