Business Outlook

Pros

Great products, great people, nice location, and comfortable work atmosphere (as long as sales are good).

Cons

1) Poor business development and new-product definition processes; they have don't know how to collect information to predict opportunities and define new products. They have survived for a long time by going after low-hanging (low risk) fruit and are not motivated to change. 2) Corporate management has taken control of the business and they don't understand it (products vs. contract engineering). They have tied the hands of local management and are running it into the ground. Local management spends too much time servicing their managers rather than running things.

Business Outlook

Pros

positive changes, positive outlook. New Management gives us a gleam of hope.

Cons

Lack of communication, Old and New Management forget to include all employees. New Management only takes advice from managers and forgets us, the production folks. One to many lies has us doubtful.
