The business is a dictatorship, where everything must be blessed by one person, the CEO.
No matter what level of success or failure happens, everything revolves around the CEO. Staff who are prepared to question the CEO are quickly moved out of the business and replaced by friends and family who vow allegiance to the CEO.
This leads to a situation where other members of the executive team are powerless. In some respects it’s similar to the Republican Party aligning themselves 100% behind Trump, to save their job they are probably forced to agree with every decision the CEO makes. It’s hard to blame the exec team if this is the case, in order to save their positions, shares and benefits they have no option.
Career progression, especially for Artists, is very limited, where only the favored few are blessed by the CEO and means creativity is limited.
Warning, many of the recent reviews on Glassdoor look suspicious and are probably seeded or encouraged by the CEO.
