Pros

Ummmmmmmm..... well let’s see where to start.... okay, still thinking, hmm, alright let’s just move onto the cons already shall we...

Cons

1) supervisors - the ones that have been brought in the last year or so are complete waste of space and good air. They think since their title says manager in it that they don’t have to do anything other than sit at there desk pretending to look at graphs and charts but never really doing anything. 2) BUM - wow okay how did individuals get this role with zero education and zero capabilities. This level tends to babble and talk in circles without ever really answering questions. 3) presidents - thought they were brought in to turn this place around but literally zero has changed. Made a couple good fires but still so disconnected from front line employees that there pointless to have here. 4) CEO - there’s words I would use to describe this guy but I don’t think they’d be allowed. I’ll try my best, egotistical, pompous, and walks around with his nose in the air. This guy is a joke and the laughing stock of the company, but honestly in the end he’ll be the one laughing all the way to the bank because long after he’s gone the damage he has done to this company will still linger. 5) practices in general - this place has some funky accounting practices going on. Supervisors encouraged to bring truck loads of materials over from offsite storage only to drop them on the floor and claim a percentage of revenue based on “work started” on the project. Labor is charged and once quarter numbers are up material is either shifted to back of warehouse to not be touched for another month or loaded back up and shipped back off site. Somehow to me this looks like some very serious issues that truly needs to be investigated for fraud and stock manipulation.

Pros

-Flexibility -Smaller Organization, so there are a wide range of opportunities -Good People -IT Management has been consistent - Values employees

Cons

-Management Turnover-I've been part of 4-5 Management changes in 5 years mainly in Operations-which we support. Each Regime has a new philosophy that will ramp up only to either be let go or to change direction by upper management. -Outdated Facilities, Carpeted Walls, Failing Bathrooms -Europe and Asia Sales Operations have been left to fend for themselves over the last 5 years. -Complexity of the business offers many challenges to get a job done will
