Senior Management Mistakes - Production Crane Payment Innovations Employee Review

Pros

The company was built by people who understood the markets and created innovative products that greatly advanced the business mostly during the 1990s and early 2000s.

Cons

The CEO was the 3rd generation of the original owner and senior management mostly consisted of his college friends. They made some good decisions but overall none of them would have elevated higher than middle management in any other corporation. The final death blow that forced the sale to CPI was their purchase of a warehouse full of Chinese ATMs that the company had no core competency to sell and support. Not to mention they entered a 30+ year old declining market. The CEO was forced into a Co-CEO position about a year prior to the sale probably to help guide the family out of a pending financial catastrophe.

Pros

Vehicle and gas are perks, ok salary, but not awesome.

Cons

Slowly micromanaging us to death. They invent new ways to deny us a bonus every few months. Individual pay raises are not really based on performance as they claim. I’m not sure upper management even understands what we do, as very little of their directives make sense in practicality. The words they say in meetings cannot be trusted. To borrow an old saying: “They will pee on your leg and tell you it’s raining.” Local Branch Managers are afraid to say anything negative. District Managers are inept, at best. Regional Managers only care about control. Don’t you dare point out problems or you’ll be a problem yourself. Toxic culture of obedience by fear and retribution.
