Corporate HQ - not good prospects for IT
Corporate HQ - not good prospects for IT
They try to treat people well.
Work-life balance is great.
Some really nice people there.
Warehouse operations are really with it.
Even the most clueless among the leadership are trying to do the right thing.
No encouragement to do a quality job, let alone go above and beyond. Management in IT has no idea what they are doing. They are all "people managers" yet decide all of the strategy and process. Too much process, yet all that process does not yield quality, timeliness, responsiveness, accuracy, or dependability – pretty much the reasons why you would install a process in the first place.
No ownership or accountability. I have not noticed any discrimination of minorities, but definitely spotted plenty of nepotism.
Start with accountability. Educate yourselves in the field in which you are managing. Trust those people working for you, and empower them.
