Pros
Strong brand with more than 3 decades of legacy built by passionate and people of integrity. Nice colleagues who are ever-ready to help one another. Key department heads know exactly what they are doing and have extremely hardworking and dedicated teams to execute given assignments and projects even with zero direction from the problematic leadership team. A problem-solving team of empathetic fighters that will go above and beyond to get the job done. Yet often they still get thrown under the bus by certain individuals.
Cons
Leadership is extremely incompetent. CEO is seldom around and leaves the CFO to run the entire company. CFO micromanages like a tyrant. He will practice quiet-firing to see how much an employee can take to test out the tolerance level of any employee. Makes sure that those that do not do his bidding, he will weed them out to create a team of YES minions under him. His actions are purposeful and measured- causing confusion and conflict when asked for a solution and yet often push key decision-making responsibilities away by not reading or replying his emails (or messages) or name-throwing to shift responsibilities away. He will consciously restrict opportunities for employee growth/benefit just to show protect his position and authority in the company and only used them to reconcile teething problems when he knows he is on the losing end of the fight. Habitual in being vague in his requests (and chooses who he replies to) he will turn the blame back to the staff when not executed in his favour. This individual also throws a temper when he is unable to get what he wants and uses underhanded and indirect threats to cut short discussions posed by operational staff on multiple occasions. He practices favouritism when SOPs come into play. When events organised by his inner circle vs. other departments- the aforementioned individual will be nonchalant about the former yet extremely strict about the P&L with regards to events done by the latter. He had caused a well-experienced manager to be hospitalised with a panic attack due to his toxic management ways. He likes to be bartender during operation hours for his friends and newly met female customers. He seems to really enjoy a female working environment. Seeing him try to chair a meeting with his limited knowledge is amusing as he tries to cover up the fact that he doesn’t know what he is doing. He has the tendency to suddenly implement new initiatives and protocols without first discussing with all the internal stakeholders (HODS & HR) and champion a personal agenda that does not seem aligned to the benefit of the company and furthermore, he does not follow up on those initiatives- resulting in a waste of company resources.
