Great employees; mediocre non-risk taking top leadership

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Overall excellent mid-level workers; solid product line; great global footprint; generally very successful with both customers and investors. Very good financial and communication systems.

Cons

Very fragmented-- works more like multiple companies with top management having more initiatives than they can handle. Chapter 11 not huge problem-- but still something that you have to explain.

Pros

there are some great people working there, several great benefits to try and keep morale up. Quite a few top notch employees.

Cons

management, no cooperation or communication between departments. Expecting too much from a small group of employees that are overworked to begin with.

Business Outlook

Pros

Engaging down-to-earth CEO. Engaging leadership team (depends on business division). Slightly above average compensation package and easy to communicate in a small organization (however very political- see con).

Cons

Lean and incompetent workforce. Operate in silos. Lack of visibility in leadership at the location- blame culture. Political place too work in considering the small size of the organization. Lack of career development and progression opportunities.
