Great people and career opportunity

Pros

Terrific people, approachable executives, career growth and learnings. Opportunity for international work and working across functions, learning about business principles you'd normally never have exposure to in many offices (lean, 8 step problem solving). Compassionate leadership who want to know employees.

Cons

Sometimes slower to evolve practices, traditional benefits package. Could stand to be more innovative with their approach to business and employees and take more risk.

Overly-Aggressive Growth Goals and Going Nowhere Fast

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.
