What suggestions do you have for management?

"Local management does not have much power to make changes, and their empowerment has been taken from them. If one is a manager, then the decisions that manager makes they own, and there is no need for managers to run every decision up a chain of command. This is counterproductive and lacks professionalism in your part. Also, the pay structure that you have for your managers needs to be looked at and adjusted. This is why you are losing your top producers to the competition, if it is not beneficial to work for a company that does not compensate because you cap your incentives, and second, for a company that has a turnover of 85%. There is no loyalty to employees."
