Pros

GP produces some excellent products that provide value to consumers. The manufacturing capabilities and competence are equal or superior to their competition.

Cons

The implementation of the MBM culture at GP is being done at various levels of commitment depending on the business unit and department. This creates confusion when working cross functionally. Most decisions are made at the highest levels making most people at the VP level or lower forced to play a tactical role rather than utilizing the years of experience and knowledge. They are cultivating a work force that will stand around waiting to be told what to do my their superiors which is completely opposite of the MBM approach. Most employees seem insulted by the treatment they receive and I expect that many will leave for a culture that allows them to grow and prosper once the economy improves.
