Worst Place Ever, Management Lacking Skills

Production manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Employee discount. 50% off on regular price and 40% on sale items. Stability is also a positive because they seldom fire anyone.

Cons

No opportunity for advancement even though the company is massive. Managers do not have your back at all. Management is micro-managing. Poisonous office gossip. Unmotivated coworkers. Low paying salary (lower than most other similar companies). Work life balance is non-existent, they schedule meetings after 5pm frequently. There is a belief that you should be glad you work for them, not the other way around. People working there in the same positions for over 5 years without promotions.

Great Oppurtunities within your own grasp.

Senior accountant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

It is a well-recognized company with a lot of potential for growth. You need to speak up in order for you to be heard at times and get what you deserve. If you want the chance to advance within the company, you will have to go for it aggressively. Nothing in life is really handed to you. Another great reason is the opportunity to continue learning new things, whether it is a new process, new program to help with your job or maybe something outside of your career zone. At polo you continue to learn new tools that help you with your person goals.

Cons

One of the negative side of working at Polo is the long hours we put in daily in the Finance Department. It comes with the position but I feel some deadlines are not reachable during reasonable hours, this causes a lot of us to work later than others. Another negative is the lack of communication from management to the peers. In any company, news travels fast and management is always way behind on the news. Also some information that is important to our position sometimes is not communicated with us and this causes problems with our tasks. I think open communication is the more important trait to have in a company.
