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. CFO who is running the entire company micromanages like a tyrant. AP will practice quiet-firing to see how much an employee can take to test out the tolerance level of any employee that does not do his bidding and weed them out to create a team of YES minions to his requests. A P's 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 his 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 requests (and choosing who they reply to) CFO will turn the blame back to the staff when not executed in their favour. The CFO will also throw temper when unable to get what he wants and uses underhanded and indirect threats to cut short discussions posed by operational staff on multiple occasions. Practice of favouritism when SOPs come into play. When events organised by inner circle vs. other departments- the aforementioned management will be nonchalant about the former yet extremely strict about the P&L with regards to events done by the latter. Even a well-experienced manager was hospitalised with panic attack due to toxic management methods by the CFO. A P enjoys bartending during operation hours for friends and guests. He also seems to enjoy creating a female centric working environment. Seeing A P chair a meeting with their limited knowledge is amusing as they try to cover up the fact that they don’t know what they are doing. The CFO has the tendency to suddenly implement new initiatives and protocols without first discussing with all the internal stakeholders (HOD and HR) and champion a personal agenda that does not seem aligned to the benefit of the company- resulting in regressive discussions (or stalemates) and wasting company and human capital resources.
