Pros
The CEO cares about the company that he has built. He continues to have drive, passion and commitment about the company. TradePMR offers employees with 401k contributions, HSA options and other good healthcare packages. The physical environment is always clean. Most department managers show care, dedication and passion for their work. The team I work with is supportive, motivating and experienced in their respective areas. Employees try to maintain a positive mindset despite certain challenges. Some employees work with strong work ethic, values and treat this company as their own.
Cons
However, let's try not to create a false narrative of the cultural climate. There continues to be poor communication between upper management and the rest of the company and even more so between and within departments. Lack of professional development is offered. Some managers show no desire to help employees grow - they become information hogs. There is a sense of fear within employees expressing something that does not conform to the ideologies of upper management at the risk of losing employment. Sick leave and paid time off are one in the same. Despite what you are offered, some individuals take more than are allocated with no repercussions while others get a slap on the wrist. HR uses negative language and has targeted certain communities of people. HR has openly shared private information with others in the company. Individuals have been given false promises and have been taken advantage of. It only takes a handful of individuals who gossip or speak negatively to create a less desirable workplace. Giving lectures about respect to ALL employees is not enough. TO THE CEO: Make sure that emotional, psychological abuse will not be tolerated at ANY cost. Empower employees with information, training and confidence! Unfortunately, all of this affects employees' motivation to come to work. If something is bothering you, speak up because if out of frustration, good people end up leaving and bad actors linger on, no one is working towards improving the environment or the company.
