Management encourages and supports a toxic culture
Pros
The good side of this business is the quality of the pet food products. However there is absolutely no passion for dogs and cats from the management or board. All the executive team talk about is money, money, money and how to get more of it from customers. What spin can we tell customers to get revenue and more shares - how can we treat our employees so badly they will be so fearful, they will do even more? On a daily basis management demonstrates greediness and ego.
Cons
Do not work at ZIWI. If you are considering a role at this cowboy business please re-read that sentence as many times as possible and walk away. Employees don’t leave ZIWI on their terms, they leave as they are pushed or they have no choice as their soul is being destroyed. You are not treated with respect and you have to constantly watch your back. A high number of people have left ZIWI in the last few years from all markets due to the toxic new leadership and culture. Management all talk about each other behind their backs as well as untruths about their teams to ensure they are top dog. There is no empowerment or development - if you don’t know how to do something don’t dare ask. Conclusion - Do not work at ZIWI. Find a company that you can excel at personally and professionally.
