      Pros

      I really don't have anything good to say about Nortek. I was more like hurry up and wait. The manaegment sector needs to communicate more.

      Cons

      All politics, hand "A" does not talk to hand "B" the decision making from behind a desk. Maybe there pockets where not full of money.

      Pros

      Company is big enough to be able to have resources to drive change, yet also recognizes the value of employees who have entrepreneurial spirit to come up with new ideas and implement them into the organization. Organization is also growing which makes it a great place for future opportunities. I've also been happy with the pay and benefits as well.

      Pros

      Good and interesting products with good potential for growth. Interesting opportunities for Innovation/R&D. Works with big name clientele on interesting variety of products and applications; small and large scale. Good benefits and 401k options.

      Cons

      Two buy-outs in two years, four lay-offs in three leading to a lot of transitioning and miscommunication. Not a very strong identity (in terms of mission or vision compass) or culture. Lacked in communication. Leadership structure not very clear, direction was uncertain. Not very effective use of human capital. Uncertain expectations leading to poor work/life balance.
