      Pros

      Good benefits. 401k and pension. Paid holidays and accruing time off. Great co-workers and end users. Ability to work with limited supervision to allow for self motivated work managment.

      Cons

      Limited/slow growth in position and monitary gain. Annual raises are standard and only account for cost of living, not based on true merit and responsibility advancements. Coorporate structure overlooks hard work ethics.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1) Private owner so not beholden or driven by poor decision making to appease stockholders and Wall Street 2) Commercial and DoD so not beholden to Wal*Mart as my two previous employers, Outwall and Microsoft were 3) Tremendous strategic vision on the part of Neil Blue, the owner, in both commercial and defense products 4) next generation Defense Product innovation and sank large amounts of investment into new products for the future with no guarantee that the government or private sector would ever be interested in buying the product 5) Generous salary and a company paid Pension

      Cons

      1) EMS was still an Engineering driven R&D concern making anything Lean for Supply Chain very difficult to sell and implement 2) Divisional infrastructure was not very adaptable to having a fully aligned, single purpose organization of team play and Espree Decor 3) ERP system was well intentioned but the four basic metrics for any MRPII System of a) Master Schedule/Demand Planning accuracy, b) Inventory accuracy, c) Bill of Material and Material/Item/Part Master file accuracy, and d) Open Order accuracy (Work Orders and Supply Orders) were not yet in the 99%+ category rendering MRP signals unreliable. 4) Procurement reported into Corporate and was non-responsive
