Pros

Before the HR director was let go suddenly and the HR manager was openly attacked in a meeting by the CEO for being responsible for an operations process. It was getting better. Fair wages, moral boosters and motivation incentive! Changing culture for the people! Benefits are very good, so far.

Cons

The women here seem to be expected to work outside their roles and responsibilities and the expectation between male counterparts is grossly skewed. If you stand up for yourself or a fellow employee, you will be fired or harassed/intimidated to the point of quitting. If you speak out on your treatment by management and report it. Fired or temp agency called stated “services no longer needed” females let go at a much higher instance and all at once, no place to repurpose their skills. Kept the men that wanted to trade places. Complaints made fall on deaf ears. Accused of “annoying” the consultant and executives. You will never get hired full time if you come on as a temp. Moral is starting to slide since the peoples director and manager have been stripped of all involvement. Grossly understaffed. Lack of leadership Lack of training Lack of career movement Lack of quality Moving manufacturing out of country

Pros

This is a company with great potential. Great products in a high growth market with good people to execute. Also have good distribution partners and relationships in the industry.

Cons

Upper management is the biggest weakness. Specifically, the CEO has no clue how to manage or motivate people and makes short term decisions solely based on stock price. In many ways, this company is sacrificing its long term heath to meet a quarterly target. When nobody can wave a magic wand to make the market recover, the CEO resorts to micromanagement, thinking that if you look at something long enough and with enough eyes, it will change. It is a demoralizing management style and one that will limit the long term success of the company. Swap out a few key people at the top and this company could be very successful. Also, be sure to innovate in the right markets. Don't always chase the shiny objects, sometimes the biggest gains are growing the markets where you already have a strong presence.
