CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Hanson is a large and stable company. Hanson Building Products specifically has the ability to grow its market presence and to be well respected in the industry. They are currently trying to improve their technology in order to further improve.

Cons

I you are looking for a place to grow your career and make a postive difference toward the betterment of an organization, skip Hanson. The overall management style to fill its ranks with "yes-men". See an issue that needs improvement, keep quiet; have a way to improve operations, keep quiet; and most of all, when you see internal improprieties, keep quiet. Speak up and you'll find a target on your back.
