Poor Management, Poor Oversight, Long Hours

Commercial finance manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Excellent experience to learn manufacturing from beginning to end. Excellent sales and R&D staff looking for innovative items and customers for something other than organic growth. Excellent products and production.

Cons

Poor financial management and oversight. Long hours for not enough money. It is difficult to respect management that brings you into an office and says "You're doing the best job in the department, but you're only working 55 hours a week. You should be here 7 AM - 7 PM minimum and I expect at least 8 hours each weekend. Oh, and I don't like that you're not at your desk during lunch. If I need to be able to find you I should be able to walk over and not have to call you on your BlackBerry.

Pros

Nice building. Good benefits.

Cons

Work/life balance, instability - constantly firing or threatening to fire. Revolving door. Turn em and burn em. 24/7 work culture. Disjointed strategy from corporate changes constantly. Red tape miles long, difficult to get things done. Everyone is afraid of getting fired so difficult to take risks or work collaboratively.
