Pros

Brady has somewhat of a family atmosphere and yet much is expected from each department and each person to perform. Brady is innovative, but is somewhat slow in getting new ideas to market due to internal documentation requirements.

Cons

Brady has promoted some key management people that maybe should not be there. These people have made some poor decisions on acquisitions, as well as eliminating positions of senior people in the company. When the economy turned down, the company has made some key decisions that have hurt them.

Pros

Innovative company with many customer focused employees. Upper management realizes it must find new fields to plow to find growth in the future so they are investing in this area. Great work groups who really have their hearts into this company.

Cons

Layoffs are regular when things start a slight down tick. I am sure another round is forthcoming, not sure where else they could cut. They want to be the next Danaher, but not sure if this is how they were built. Acquisitions have been hit or miss and have costs the company plenty of unrealized roi. Too many young people in charge.

Pros

They continue to produce new products. There is a big push in the R&D department to come up with new products and better materials. I think this is very important especially when the economy is not doing well. Also, the benefits are comparable to other businesses. Basically, the benefits are good but they are not outstanding. Compensation is also good. I am happy with what I make and I think their compensation is good not great (in line with other companies). Brady has been around for a while and it very concerned with the state of the economy. There is a strong push to improve efficiency and cut costs where they can.

Cons

Every few years they tend to lean the company which usually means layoffs. Also, you must be self-motivated.
