Pros

Company continues to make strategic acquisitions that will help the company grow and become less dependent on storms. Very product and innovation focused with the mindset to being a market leader.

Cons

The company's focus is top line growth, without taking into consideration that organization design and integration "go hand-in-hand". As the company continues to grow the focus needs to be on people development and organization integration of teams within current businesses and new acquired businesses. There is far too much turn-over, which creates for a negative culture.

Pros

Updated buildings and as a whole a solid product line. Most of the current employees are very talented. The company has good potential if they get there act together.

Cons

Upper level management needs to listen to the employees and stop being the negative ones. There is so much negativity from this level and tension in the air that its sickening. Most employees are working harder and longer than needed out of fear of loosing there jobs. This is a very negative environment at this time and it starts with some of the unrealistic expectations of the upper management, directors, and V.P.s. You are not allowed to voice an opinion to someone, because if one of the directors hears about it your cornered and confronted. People have lost their jobs based on comments made. So much for freedom of speech. The company has lost a lot of top notch talent and its a constant revolving door of people. Most workers in my department are currently looking at other opportunities and sending out there resumes. The overall view is your just an employee, do your job as your told or your out of there. The company will always have someone to fill your shoes. The company is also below average on compensation. Again we have lost a good number of people due to this. Not every year is going to be a banner year, but treat your employees good, and you will be amazed at how much more productive they will become.
