Pros
Potential to dominate the market, Many talented people just not in management positions
Cons
4th generarion family run business, where the president has no clue how to manage his personal affairs let alone a company this size. Zero growth in the last few years while their largest competitors which are both former Carbis employees are experiencing double digit growth. No career path for most employees, no formal review process, low pay for clerical and administrative staff, does not honor employement agreements, changes market directions and focus every 9-12 months. Relies on core associates who are overpaid and fearful of losing their jobs to implement his latest operational and marketing plan. Has a habit of suppressing suggestions from experienced employees, running off good talent, firing good employees, and forcing his own children who are destined to inherit company out of the business altogether.
