What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

The people at the top of the ladder need to actually care about the employees that make the products and realize it is wrong for the CEO and other upper management to make over 100 times what the average employee makes. Wages, bonuses and benefits need to be increased across the company.

Minimal work-life balance at various points in career

Review from Operations Dept

Too many changes are happening and they aren't improvements

Review from Operations Dept

Young people in sales often become pessimistic and disenfranchised due consistently changing priorities, poor business results, and lack of accountability they are given. Leadership needs to do a better job of finding a way to empower younger employees to have more of a voice in strategic decisions.

Review from Sales Dept

After multiple years of declining sales and layoffs, this is a depressing place to work. New leadership is needed with some method of regaining employee trust
