Lack of organizational and foundational framework

Pros

Opportunity for a Hybrid option

Cons

Lack of training for every new hire regarding the use of Netsuite system, not one employee has full knowledge of it’s functions except upper management, ie CEO, CFO or development manager (1 person) Lack of accountability from management. Lack of program development team for company management for all employees. Workload isn’t distributed fairly and in many cases some employees are given more workload and forced to work harder longer hours than others. It’s not just ONE department that’s unable to organize workload, it begins with lack of structure for onboarding of new hires. Lack of organizational structure has spilled into EVERY SINGLE DEPARTMENT of this company and because there is no foundational framework for processes and procedures data management is nonexistent.

Pros

- Amazing Products - The workers move the needle - A perfect example of how not to act in leadership

Cons

- Leadership protects itself, even when serious issues such as sexual harassment, discrimination, and retaliation are reported. HR operates to shield executives, not employees. - The company shifted from having no processes to drowning in unnecessary bureaucracy. Decisions are slow, inconsistent, and often political. - The independent installer network was once the foundation of the business but has now been neglected. Leadership will sacrifice long-term partners and even their own if it means securing an OEM or dealership deal. - Product quality has declined. What was once a differentiated offering is now treated like a generic commodity with little competitive edge. - Customer service has deteriorated and feels increasingly transactional. Smaller accounts are given little attention while larger accounts dominate leadership’s focus.

Pros

There is a lot of autonomy here.

Cons

Management is megalomaniacal. This place is run like a family business even though it’s a global company. It’s a complete farce.
