Pros

Good pay, try to keep you in the business. People that work their are very confusing to read. They are laid back one day and intense the next.

Cons

Hard to move up. People are relatively friendly but the culture is defiantly a corporate culture with a cut throat environment. High stress

Pros

When I first started at Brady it was a great company to work for. Great benefits, management cared about employees. Yearly bonuses.

Cons

Management changed several times, jobs were outsourced to other countries like the Philippines and Mexico. Many .American jobs were lost.

Pros

- Nice co-workers when not being monitored by management. - Free coffee

Cons

- No on-boarding process. - HR functions have been off-shored. Good luck finding anyone in HR locally that's willing to respond to questions or knows what's going on. - Corporate accounting has been off-shored. - Company is atrophied with process management and still can't get it right. - Company hires newly-minted MBAs to manage employees with much more experience who know the business and industry far better and should be promoted to management themselves. - Meetings, meetings, meetings and more meetings! Then meetings to discuss the previous meetings. Try getting any real work done under those circumstances. - If the last round of management strategy hasn't worked, it's on to the next round of "simplifications," otherwise known layoffs and reductions and cost increases in benefits. - Hires consultants rather than trusting employees to grow the business. - Acquires other businesses to grow the company rather than innovating. Innovation is not in Brady's DNA. - Management far too conservative - amazingly risk-averse. - Quality of product has diminished. The majority of manufacturing has gone off-shore with dire results. - The beatings will continue until moral improves.
