Pros

Great products, very organized corporation, and opportunity to advance and grow

Cons

Very corporate and run like a GE company which means they will lay off people without notice to cover their books. Continues changes in upper management without fixing root causes. They don't innovate or create new products like they used to and expect sales to squeeze blood from a rock. They're worried about their shareholders but not stakeholders.

worst management and leadership / non supportive HR

Business Outlook

Pros

Employees often band together in the face of poor management, creating a strong sense of camaraderie and teamwork. This solidarity can lead to a supportive and collaborative work environment among peers. Poor management can sometimes mean less oversight, giving employees more freedom to take initiative and make decisions independently. This can foster creativity and personal growth.

Cons

1. Lack of Clear Direction: Management often lacks a clear vision and direction, leading to confusion and misalignment among team members regarding company goals and priorities. 2. **Poor Communication**: There is a significant gap in communication between management and employees, resulting in misunderstandings and a lack of transparency about important decisions and changes. 3. **Micromanagement**: Some managers tend to micromanage, which can stifle creativity and reduce employee morale by not allowing sufficient autonomy. 4. **Inconsistent Decision-Making**: Decisions are frequently inconsistent and seem arbitrary, which undermines trust in management and creates uncertainty about job security and company stability. 5. **Slow Response to Issues**: Management is often slow to respond to employee concerns and issues, leading to prolonged dissatisfaction and a feeling that employee feedback is not valued.
