Don't Work Here - Anonymous employee International Employee Review

-Sales Directors are all overweight. Sales teams are not sharp and lack basic business acumen. It's a boys club. All they do is eat Cheetos and guzzle Coke while forwarding emails from dealers. Dealers act as if they just got out of jail and obtained an International Truck franchise as their first job out of jail. -Too many managers with no skills. They pay managers $75,000, $80,000, $90,000 a year and many don't even have a basic business degree. No interpersonal or leadership skills. Didn't even complete a Management 101 class. Way too much middle management with no leadership skill. All they do is track spreadsheets and micromanage. Most projects are out of budget and late. Middle managers are no concerned about employees, only what Level they are and their "management" title. -All computer systems are from 1988. Most companies have two main information systems (one that controls internal accounting and one that controls customer interfacing functions) Navistar has over 15 systems to store financial and customer information. Will cost well over $500 million to upgrade and streamline. Therefore, they expect everything run on Excel spreadsheets. -HR isn't used to improve the work or career environment. It is dysfunctional and is used by inept managers as a resource to bully and intimidate employees into taking on more work as other employees leave the company. Many managers choose to "work from home" so they can just forward emails to the employees below that are actually running the business. The more employees leave, the more work is left for the employees that choose to stay. -No annual merit increases. -Mandatory furlough days at the end of each year so company can preserve cash -Finance directors aren't concerned with reporting accurate financial data, rather trailoring financial data in order to paint a false narrative for the qurarterly conference call with investors.
