Toxic Environment

Pros

Talk a good game and the potential is tremendous.

Cons

Executive leadership is struggling to turn the plant around. It really is not that hard, but rather than do the homework and root cause analysis, "countermeasures" are thrown at the wall in a futile attempt to see what sticks. These countermeasures include: investment in new equipment to boost output when there are no people to run the current equipment. Terminating management members or team members that challenge the status quo. Customer confidence is pathetically low. Customers are constantly on site to monitor the business.
