- 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.
