Cons
You have to be a "yes" person. It is not about your productivity or tenure. The organization celebrates the money-makers. They romanticize a false sense of community. They celebrate the coffee shop with a zombie like fixation. It doesn't detract from the underlying problems of management being out of touch with employees.
Their inability to read the room has been present for a while. They failed to see during Covid that it takes more than food, drink and "community" when the fact of the matter was that it only showed lack of trust in their employees.
Team meetings consist of a manager who is incapable of reigning in meetings that devolve into nonsense and wasted time. Obvious bias exists as there are clear favorites on the team, and their ideas are more readily accepted and heard. Comments as to appearance lead to obvious preference and isolation of other team members.
Now that DEI is thing of the past and everyone is trying to navigate it smoothly, Relias proceeds to post the whitest President’s Club photo ever. It’s completely tone-deaf.
They continue to make decisions that may seem to make sense at the top but have no relevance or need when it comes to employees.
