Get rid of the ageism and nepotism. This company spouts family then lies to your face on wages. How horrible Clay 1 and 2 are treated compared to Hollister. The office building is filled with reps that don't know what they're doing and "hot interns" - Lee Ackerley. We see their priorities.

We need to introduce a better consequence system and communication needs to be better

Review from Operations Dept

More space, more interaction, development at different departments if you don't have a thing to do. Do follow smart goals that has been said beginning of the year. Get rid of people who doesn't fit this work environment. Because they think only their benefits.
