Business Outlook

Pros

There are small pockets of people that are really great to work with and make the company and job somewhat bearable.

Cons

The company is very near sighted and does not think strategically. Long term goals are in place but how to get to those goals is all over the place. Corporate culture is also lacking significantly. There is a lot of talk about wanting to improve but not a lot of actions. Very old and traditional in their ways of working.

Pros

This company is small enough to have an impact. Good brand reputation. Strategic partnerships with some suppliers. Part of the Freudenberg group, which should be a benefit.

Cons

Limited career opportunities. An assembly shop that strives for manufacturing results. Still figuring out what type of company it wants to be.
