Long Slow Slide into Decline

Business Outlook

Pros

Company with a long proud history. Fortune 300 and all that. Many Great People, and really dedicated employees in manufacturing.

Cons

Clueless Management. After years of acquisitions (and appropriate "right sizing" due to synergies) the fearless leaders are now engaging in some financial engineering to split the company into 3 parts. Which means lets cut more resources in order to make the numbers look better. This on top of poor pay, no raises and sky-rocketing insurance costs. What good people you have remaining are there only for lack of options.

Pros

Well known out in the market place. Solid company not going anywhere. You can make a good living working at this company, and know they will be around a very long tim.

Cons

Large company that is slow on making decisions. Nothing happens fast within the company. They will also cap you if you start to make too much money.
