Pros

Co-workers are good and try their best

Cons

Management leadership is poor with one upper manager being particularly incapable. Over a 2 year period as least 6 people have held the purchasing position and none have lasted. Manager trains incompletely and hold too much information but is fast to criticize and put down. The revolving door doesn't seem to bother owner so nothing is done to correct this poor management style. Nepotism is a problem with some people being supported far more than others.

Draconian rules before revenue

Pros

Interesting technology that unfortunately is not able to be commoditized due to restrictive and subjective internal processes and procedures CEO with vision and passion for his technology First line employees (mostly) who are dedicated and hard working in spite of their respective management

Cons

Unqualified and inexperienced mid and senior level management individuals Unnecessary and performance limiting processes and procedures driven by people unqualified to manage or lead others More focus on internal tracking of irrelevant things than on revenue producing activities Too many outdated and draconian rules, policies and procedures to ensure job security for only those in operations Absolutely no business acumen or real world successful business experience within senior or mid level mgmt Zero executive leadership by current full time position holder Salaries and benefits are not competitive within the industry Not focused on customers or creating sales
