Pros

We host amazing events! This allows our CEO and the rest of the executive team to act like celebrities.

Cons

CEO is regularly posting on instagram about the celebrities he is rubbing elbows with or the lavish trips he is taking. In his recent post he talks about taking a few days with his wife who is also the head of HR to go to the UK and see the sites before he goes to the Starkey UK event...is he tone deaf that most employees can't go to the UK just for a few days to have fun???
