What to consider

• Low leadership approval: CEO and senior management ratings are notably low, suggesting a disconnect between executive strategy and employee sentiment.
• Sales-heavy focus: Technical staff frequently report that repair and service goals are secondary to aggressive membership and credit card sales targets.
