Corporate Conglomerate Culture bringing this fine company down

Pros

Good pay for those who started when the company was great (6+ years ago) or if you are a College Graduate (Marquette preferred). Clean environment. Decent benefits.

Cons

Every decision is made looking at short term bottom line. They outsourced so much (Manufacturing, Help Desk, Finance) overseas - Mexico, China, Slovakia, Malaysia and India. Cheapened quality of new and existing products. Way too much management, not enough workers. Beaurocracy strangling quality and real change. Management says all the right words (buzz words) and make it sound like they are doing the right things, but actions speak louder than words - those who talk a good game and give numbers management want to hear go far but those who request real improvements that cost money that won't be made back in a year or less are ignored or belittled.

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.
