Pros

Great Business...makes more money by accident than on purpose. Huge investment dollars dumped into polishing the aging infrastructural. Could certainly be a thriving Business if a major restructuring of management was done.

Cons

GE didn't leave their best and brightest in charge then pull the plug on this Business. The new owners used the management left behind by GE and like a swarm of locust they ate the farmers field all the while blaming the crop failure on the people that grew it. It has become more of a Monarchy than a Business with nepotism insuring that nothing changes. Barely out of Bankruptcy and our debt is again over a billion. Skill sets are ignored with the new management friends and family plan.

Pros

Great people, who on a personal level, are always willing to help. There is recognition of the changes that are needed. Some senior management change has been made.

Cons

They are under significant financial pressure from market overcapacity as well as the strong dollar. This has hurt sales/margin and has permitted competitors to take share. These factors also hamper new product introduction. See their 3rd Q 15 report. More organizational change is needed. This will require bold action.
