BAD MANAGEMENT - werkgeversreview Anonieme werknemer bij Alès Groupe

corporate but small with growing opportunities

small and responsibilities fall under fewer roles

The work schedule can be quite flexible. If you're in the corporate office, you get simmer Fridays. if you're well liked it can afford opportunity for growth. The sales meetings are hosted in exotic locations. The products perform marvelously and you can feel proud representing quality products.

Overall the staff is incredibly unprofessional both in the field and corporate office. Management does not listen to the needs of the field nor are there strategic initiatives put in place to ensure success. The budgets are typically poorly handled or so miniscule that it undermines any potential for corporate growth or innovation. The maternity leave is terrible. For a portfolio of products predominantly sold by women for other women, it's too bad that they don't show more value for their employees both in pay and a competitive benefits package. There are many staffers that have worked there for a very long time that refuse to change or adjust to the 21st century, whether it's the lack of technological resources to work more efficiently or investments made in the business to become truly competitive. They often mean well, but are so resistant to change or willing to try to do anything new that it makes you feel like your voice isn't heard or that they don't truly care to challenge themselves enough to step out of the "mom and pop" mentality. It's a business that is "bleeding" slowly and painful to watch and experience.
