A bright future for the company (and its members) if we can pull together.

Pros

Great leadership training with focus on continuous improvement, continuous development, and employee engagement. Good strategy (although not communicated well). Fantastic office! A lot of flexibility with work hours, work location, etc., when practical. Good benefits.

Cons

1) Strategy and goals are far too complex to be cascaded down and across using communication methods. 2) Despite the company's efforts, some leaders (at every level) are not onboard with where we are trying to go, how we plan to get there, and that THEY need to grease the skids. 3) Silos feel like they are sustained from the top. 4) Compensation plan attracts unexceptional workers and, as a result, sustains unexceptional performance.

Pros

Great Employees that give it their all, EVERY DAY!!! Middle and Lower management seem to do the best with the tool that trickle down from the top.

Cons

Line workers are temps that work on dangerous machinery like saws and presses with no medical and vision insurance coverage.

Pros

Nice building. Flexible work hours.

Cons

Very confusing direction from management. They have us waste time and money on things that don't help, and then insist we must "do more with less" and do it faster and better. They announce to the world (owners, customers, dealers, employees) that things are going just fine when we just told them we're not going to meet a deadline. There is also a lot of infighting among executives.
