Pros
Division managers that do not perform their job and when they show up are late and leaving early. Team member mentality makes it great to put down others to make yourself look better even when it doesn't really benefit you. Being pushed by your DM to the Account Team for a lateral position so you can do the job for someone making $20-$40K more than you. That option is only available if you're young, a woman and blond to light brown haired; at least in the Florida region. They have a type. It creates to the culture of conflict and mixing business with pleasure since that runs on all levels of the region. Division Managers are known to be romantic with each other. Division Managers have also been known to do the same with the Territory Managers. Everyone knows all about it. Oh, I forgot to mention you get a company car and health insurance that increases more in cost than the marketplace every year.
Cons
Florida region is awful and has done a 180 over the past couple years. Falsifying coupon counts, even against your better judgment, so you are not on a list that only props up your line manager and their line manager. Being guilted about taking time off when it is afforded to you. FMLA being used against employees when they needed it and then are terminated for utilizing that legal right causing fear and panic about how to keep your job when other people are made an example of when they had legitimate reasons. Florida region currently has a roughly 10%-15% turnover rate based on last senior director leadership change. He is trying to make a name without really focusing on the root causes of his own ineffective division leadership at the expense of losing quality employees on the bottom rung of the ladder to protect those in management. Also, I almost guarantee the company will over state how well everything is performing to its shareholders for end of year but I can tell you that is not reflected on the ground based on how the people that drive that growth (or lack of) are not seeing it because of current misaligned directives, mismanagement of product launches and false reporting of performances.
