New CEO doesn't get it - Wants the company to fail?

Pros

The company used to be great. Home grown by Vince and Scott Dundee due to years and years of hard work and dedication. Employees were treated like gold, so long days and nights were almost enjoyable. Everyone worked together like a team because they were all treated like family and with respect.The previous owners understood the rental industry and with their employees built a monster that was Video Equipment Rentals. Pay rates are competitive for the industry. Full benefits were great (but the new CEO Steve Hankin is working on taking that away from new employees).

Cons

Sadly, the vision that the company once had is all but gone. The love of the company by the employees that still remain there is also gone. The new CEO Steve Hankin has dropped the Video Equipment Rentals name and now wants to go only by VER. He also changed the company logo and color from Blue to Purple. Every chance he gets, Steve Hankin treats the employees at VER like dirt and talks to them like children. No respect is given for the years of service by the employees that built VER as a company. Management now hires outsiders from Amazon and Fedex that have no idea about the industry or how this company was built and maintained. Many of them are not making the grade. The CEO's lack of respect for people and knowledge for the industry is leading to the downfall of VER as a company. Many of the good people have left, with more to come....

Pros

Nice, hardworking people, interesting industry, never a dull moment.

Cons

The Big Sell happened. From that day on, VER expects more and more out of their staff and doesn't stop over complicating work processes. In return we get a few Thank You emails from yet another CEO whom no one ever met. VER doesn't invest in their employees. Nothing has been arranged in terms of training, personal development, employee wellness. Rebranding the company seemed a no. 1 priority but it's disturbing that it's just the exterior that got to enjoy an update.
