Cons
Take a slow and close read of all the other reviews and you will notice an undeniable truth - there are systemic issues at play from the top-down and the Saje ship is sinking - sales are down, A Players are leaving for better gigs, and no one at the top is experienced enough in business or leadership to know what to actually do about it. Seems like retail leadership is crumbling with very few good people left at mid or senior levels, which should be raising alarm bells but isn’t - yikes! The primary issue is emotional and inexperienced decision making at exec and senior levels due to family & close family friends all at the top who haven’t actually been executives at other companies and therefore don’t have the depth of business acumen needed to make decisions. That, and they rely on a misinterpretation of spiritual laws (similar to hope and pray) instead of real forward strategic thinking. Heavy reliance on topgrading people but lack of organized thinking on how to actually stimulate and grow true A Players. Probably the hardest and saddest to stomach is the founding family’s enormous ego - the spiritual laws are aspirational for them and you can easily see they don’t know the faintest thing about non-attachment and being ego-less. The day they actually understand these concepts the ship may turn around, as they may let go of their attachment to old ways of thinking and let others make some big bold new decisions! Let’s hope!
