      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Intellectually challenging, with plenty of opportunity to exercise problem-solving skills due to ineptitude of leadership. Compensation is competitive for the area, other than for sodtware developers. Prime location in Carlsbad CA

      Cons

      Inept leadership, entrenched and unimaginative middle management, low-energy environment, outdated manufacturing facilities, no discernable strategy, ad hoc prioroties, burdensome internal processes, lack of organic product development necessitating foolish acquisitions.

      Pros

      Ability based promotions with great in house training. Vacation and insurance great. Attendance policy great. Ot when needed for additional $. Supportive supervisors who mentor staff and offer great encouragment. Great pay.

      Cons

      Hr immoral, shady, and illegal treatment of employees. Consequences for actions were very inconsistent with race, disability, sex, health, and company interests all playing major factor of degree of punishment per person.

      Pros

      See other reviews. This is a follow up.

      Cons

      Depressing to watch the Nortek corporate bigwigs making millions while we in the trenches are getting further and further behind. We are not even keeping up with the cost of living, but the directors keep cashing in the stocks that they keep giving themselves at zero cost.
