Lack of Trust - werkgeversreview Anonieme werknemer bij Big Red

Employees and employee engagement not important to leadership. No emphasis on building effective teams or to simply creating an environment people want to work in. High turnover results from management’s clear lack of trust in employees at every level. Very low tolerance for new ideas or taking risks. All-male leadership team permits sexist, old-fashioned and demeaning commentary towards women during open meetings. Departments are kept separate and working with different departments collaboratively is frowned upon. Top leadership takes a narrow view of what each department is “supposed to do” and employees are reprimanded when working too openly with other departments. Decision making process is typically emotional vs. rational and often appears to be driven by fear and distrust. Marketing is not respected as a function; it is a sales-led company that treats marketing as a support group instead of a strategic driver. Traditional CPG brand managers or general-management-style marketers need not apply here; the department doesn’t work that way, and doesn’t seem to want to.
