At EMD there is a great and rewarding product line to work on.

Cons

Corporate and upper level management don't understand what we make and assign unrealistic goals. Benefits have been cut in the past.

Pros

I suppose with no strong managers you have opportunities to excel. But pay will be as low as they can get away with, and if your ideas involve anything that doesn't provide immediate affect on quarterly earrings - forget about it.

Cons

But in all seriousness... whether it's based on mismanagement or intentional planning, this division of the company is not long for this world. Markets are not understood or valued. Goals and objectives are based purely on monthly and quarterly Wall Street objectives. Sales growth is only attained through acquisitions, not organically. Strategies are not clearly defined or even communicated. Managers are under experienced and ill prepared. Just wanting their "piece"... EVERYTHING is being moved to China or India. Employees are treated like a number. Reminded we are "lucky to have jobs" Once people break free, few jobs are back filled. This means everyone is overworked. Morale is regularly reaching new lows. Benefits are being cut each year, to the most minimally acceptable levels. Should I go on? Old (incompetent) Boys Club. Talent isn't key to success. Wall Street LITERALLY dictates every decision. Customers are starting to see they come last...
