Constructive Feedback From GW Employees
- What would you improve about your company's interview process?they should try doing real interviews and stop playing games. ridiculous
- What's going wrong and how can it be improved?SO MUCH WRONG. One man shop concept is abusive. Management knows more about sniffing glue than how to support shops. I have worked in many male dominated atmospheres, but this one is different as so many seem to have a pure hate towards females. this is reflected in both employees and customers.
- What needs to change to make the company culture better?It will not get better. They need to sell off to people who have a clue about the laws of the lands they operate in.
