A company with a lack of focus

Production manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good workers and good people are all around. The company definitely gives the impression that they want to change things and make them better.

Cons

The company seems to be more concerned with accounting than operational improvement. There are a lot of claims that money is being pumped in to rebuild and bring things to a better state, but its really hard to see that on a local level. Promises seems to turn into buzz words rather quickly. Management turnover is way too high and leaves most people more willing to keep their options open than work harder to help the company turn the corner.
