Pros

Excellent Brand. Solid revenues allow for entrance into new markets. Supportive and strong management. Good quality of life (flexible work policies).

Cons

Aging workforce. Lack of new blood and younger staff results in a culture without vital energy to support new ventures or new products. Bureaucracy limits growth. Very limited investment in growing people through training, employee organizations or job reskilling.

Pros

People are generally personable with modest egos. Most have spent a career there and have few ambitions beyond EK. Because so many experienced people have left the company, there is lots of opportunity for those with little experience to have surprising influence in a company with a worldwide brand presence and global market.

Cons

There is no hope for the future. Most employees are either (i) long-timers hoping to survive a few more years until they are eligible for retirement or (ii) recent arrivals looking to make a name and a few bucks before moving on to something better. Many new hires are there only because their spouse moved to the area for a real good opportunity, and the Kodak opportunity was available for the trailing spouse. There are no new hires who have any realistic hopes of building a company that will still be standing in a decade. So the general attitude is depressed. Even the halls are dark, as the company has removed half of the light bulbs to save energy - a constant, visible sign of the gradual decline of this once proud institution.
