Pros
- Very Structured, at least on paper - Senior Management are very personable and down to earth, particularly Gene - Enforced 8 hours work day due to labor lawsuit - still the largest CNC machine manufacturer in North America - Great Service department
Cons
- Most employees are being treated like zombies and humanoids, only managers are allowed to think. - Senior Management surrounded themselves with too many BS artists unfit as middle and low level supervisors work. - Too much effort at middle and lower level with emphasis on looking good, sweeping dirt under the rug, but not doing any real good work. - Too much effort at middle and lower management level to do songs and dances at the high level meetings, but mostly are just hypes, smokescreens, or useless demos. - completely antiquated technology, but no manager knows how to move forward except BS'ing the top. - Many are being mistreated by the supervisors, pitted one against another like in the gladiatorial sports. - Too many old-timers only cared about status quo, hiding behind what they know and throwing mud at what they don't know. - Lots of preaching on team work and efficiency, but most mid/low level management made sure that anyone who follows the preaching would be placed first by the exit door sign. - Used to have great bonus (2011), but now it is just a sham. - Company sales grow too fast for its infra-structure to keep pace. - while some are satisfied with their jobs and where they are, there are just too many unhappy campers and too much frictions at work.
