They took jeans day away

Pros

Great parking lot, cafe' is average, building is extremely new, we had a jeans day, people tend to be grumpy if your into that kind of thing.

Cons

FIRST, before we get into anything else. Why would a company implement an jeans day for their employee's and then take it back? This is a great example of how out of touch and screwed up some of our companies policies are. This puts the icing on the cake for me. We're slipping down a path of brain drain. All the high performers across the company are leaving, which is leaves sub par talent that is overworked and over stressed. Upper level management that have been there for 10+ years at the VP and SVP levels have never seen how a functioning company works and are steering us from a skewed point of view. Years of bad hiring decisions and policy have left most core functions in the company with agressive employees that don't work well in teams. Or people in charge of departments they shouldn't be.

Pros

Many good people willing to help. Long term vision is encouraging. Willing to make needed changes to improve culture.

Cons

VP level top heavy. Many new top level VP that are hired in, not promoted. Not enough experience at higher level to make a timely decision that actually sticks. Lots of back and forth with no accountability or willingness to make a call and deal with it. The fear of being wrong halts and slows progress on projects. Technology for Engineering is weak. Sub-par equipment and low investment in employee tools and facilities. General process are very weak. Lots of process that are not followed or even known about. What is present is very weak. There is a fear of process creep that could slow agility down, but making mistakes is also very expensive in rework and waste. Needs to be a compromise. Health Care benefit is weak if you live outside of Waukesha. Only par if you live in or near Waukesha.
