Business Outlook

Pros

Team members are nice Good place to get experience Good image of quality Cares about the safety of its employees Paternity leave benefits OK 401k match, 6%

Cons

-Bonuses are restricted to top level management only, which is almost unheard of in companies this size. This has led to some employee departures -health coverage is standard, nothing special -weak supply chain department, do not seek other suppliers, contracts are unheard of -poor execution of matrix organization -favoritism of projects -lack of strategy to grow sales in all divisions, some placed higher importance than others -personnel cuts have caused some divisions to lose money, as well as more burnt out employees -not much effort in employee retention -very much focused on hitting the mark for investors
