Employees say:
- “LaSalle has a very collegial corporate culture, where employees respect each other and politics are virtually non-existent. This stems from a top-down tone with the executives who promote a de-stratified structure, where employees across the organization can approach them and engage in dialogue at any time.”
- “It is a very flat organization, where senior level executives are open to feedback and discussion with all levels.”
- “Senior leadership takes the initiative to communicate with employees in a way that makes them feel valued and in the know.”
