Pros

Cons
Management is inexperienced and poor at mentoring and developing those beneath them due to their lack of experience and need for self promotion. Women are not respected, certain senior managers have directly called their reports unimaginable names and consistently referred to women in a derogatory manner on multiple occasions, which has been brought to HR attention - senior management/CEO chooses to look the other way. Speaking up will often terminate your career growth. Atmosphere of fear based leadership. Team is afraid to speak up, though there is consensus of unhappiness. Poor behavior/disrespect is rewarded with promotions and compensation, while hard work and results through honesty are marginalized and often black balled, considered weaknesses. Toxic work environment which values competitive and cut throat nature more than hard work, high quality work, team work and integrity. Optics are more important than the output. Fundamental corporate values which are intentionally given media exposure are not followed in the US regional office: respect, diversity of thought, inclusivity are all lacking on the Merchandising team currently. In order to grow within the company, it is required to abandon morals and values.
