The Worst Behaviors

Pros

Some flexibility but people abuse. Was once a little more professional.

Cons

Not a nice work environment. Strained. Nervous Very insecure place. Grouchy world sales. Poorly behaved local office managers in West Coast offices. Embarassing at times. Scary even. A lot of acting entitled and name dropping while doing very little. For being so lazy, total office management in most offices can be impressively active in dividing and singling out folks. To protect their dirty turf. And still not doing much work! We have succeeded in scaring at least two potential client deals by behavior of original office managers. And even turning off internal and new labor. Someone once said Corporate Services was the entitled field army of the general. Probably true. Only problem is the field army stopped working for the general a long long time ago. And the general either doesn't know it or doesn't care. And we all pay both salaries while losing good people and business.

Pros

New products and the market is good, so easy to try things out on clients. Some of ineffective senior managers have left.

Cons

A lot of hurdles. Your basic jungle. A lot of mistrust and secrecy, especially from head office. A lot of unprofessional behavior there and other offices. Home offices face unclear future. People have survived in their shaky roles by charming the visiting management executives, and otherwise just partying when the king is gone. And targeting co-workers. A lot of the people can't easily work anywhere else. What a mess.
