Company is held back by dysfunctional senior management - Anonymous employee PRIDE Industries Employee Review

Senior Management doesn't lead. Instead, they thrive on dysfunction and acrimony, tending to take care of themselves and their personal agendas at the expense of the rank and file employees. It's all about Pride politics and playing the game. If you offend certain members of the Senior Management team, you'll be isolated, marginalized and effectively nullified, regardless of your accomplishments. If you are one of the favored few, your incompetence is overlooked. Many in the Company's middle management are paralyzed by fear. They fear offending certain members of the Senior Management team, so important issues are often buried until they manifest as crisis situations. Senior Management is not committed to the well being of its employees. It expects employees to work without wage increases for infinite periods of time, yet awards itself generous raises and bonuses on an annual basis. It also decided to acquire a corporate jet, which is an exorbitant luxury item. Meanwhile, employees are expected to work for below market wages with no hope of a wage increase. Some employees have attempted to better themselves by pursuing MBA degrees at their own expense, only to have Senior Management refuse to define appropriate career paths. These employees are then forced to leave the Company when they clearly have potential to make the Company better. New hires in key positions are often shocked at the level of hostility and obstruction they encounter when attempting to do their jobs. They are forced to endure the hostility because Senior Management refuses to set the proper tone, choosing instead to indulge in the protection of personal agendas. Rather than encourage open mindedness and collaboration, an environment of competing priorities and hubris is allowed to flourish. This erodes the confidence of key employees and leads to disengagement.
