Inconvénients
Leadership is well intentioned, but completely out of touch Suburban office location with plans on moving 30 miles outside of town Lack of community involvement with employees (work, go home, repeat) Lack of community involvement from the corporation (not engaged in the Nashville community at all) There's a designated "cry room" where they take people before they fire them and walk them out without warning. Every associate knows someone who got axed because it happens far too often Unable to execute strategies that win in the market No bonus in the last two years Promotions never happen - 50% of the office stays in the same role virtually forever if they keep their heads down Tough place for young people, gays, women or minorities - very old school environment, not much technology, terrible systems, antiquated corporate policies haven't been updated since the mid 2000's
