Management stunk. Not given any direction. Brought in to do a job but then pushed aside in favor of a former coworker of my manager's and then forgotten about.

Business Outlook

Pros

Recent building updates, focus on global expansion as a growth strategy and continued focus on leadership is making a difference. Company is investing in SAP, new equipment, and more innovation. Jobs have a broader scope than you will find elsewhere.

Cons

Growing pains can be challenging as company lacks clear objectives (margins and KPI's) so difficult to hold leaders accountable to achieve results. This leads to pointing fingers instead of corrective actions.
