Industry Leader. Metric Driven.

Pros

Great people to work with. Immediate peers and extended associate relationships keep me here. Leadership making sound acquisitions and managing a consistent global business plan that transformed company from an historic bottom quartile to top ten percent performer vs similar companies. High quality products. Acquired product lines provide competitive differentiated value. Ethics and integrity permeate the culture.

Cons

Extensive reporting. Much content duplicated. Combined with work force reduction, translates into long workdays and weekend hours. Metric driven: anticipate a demanding environment.
