      Lost Potential

      Store manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Worked with great people that all move on to do great things. Diverse team. Team commission.

      Cons

      Because each of the locations catered to different customers and the buy was allotted accordingly, those allocating for the buy constantly would not listen to managers when requesting certain types of items, so there would be a constant transfer of items back-and-forth between stores...which would lead to fights over sales of best-selling items. Cliques and cattiness grew as the company grew. Open-comunication is great, but doesn't mean much when staff has to repeat past concerns over and over. Not adaptive/innovative to the changing retail landscape.

      Company Had Potential; Lacks Strong Mangement

      Marketing and business development manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      I worked at OTTE for 3.5 years starting in 2013. At the time, the company was growing at a steady pace. Upper management was strong, with a VP who was interested in growing the company's business and developing employees into strong leaders with key skills. Though pay was not great and benefits were minimal, it was an exciting experience and a great chance to grow professionally with the company. I was able to develop management experience and grow out a team underneath me, and while the hours were sometimes long, there were other times where they were average or easy and there were plenty of opportunities to attend events, shows, and network within the industry. We completed some exciting projects, shoots, and new business opportunities, and I learned a lot working under this management structure.

      Cons

      Current management structure is very poor (new leadership as of Nov 2016); senior management has little to no leadership or management experience. No direction or future plans for growing the company. Company culture used to be strong, but is now lacking; little interaction between departments, and office/stores. Management does not take the time to develop employees and help further them on their career path with the company. Benefits are poor or non-existent (no retirement, minimal health coverage that is expensive to employee, no commuter benefits, etc). No clear plan or structure for how to collaborate or manage within the company. Budget is minimal to nonexistent for most departments, which makes completing projects or proposing new projects extremely difficult. Management says they want to maintain or grow, but when asked has no answer to questions about how they are going to grow revenue; continually says they just want to cut costs at this time while avoiding giving a straight answer.
