Pros

Great brand recognition and corporate HQ location

Cons

The new Industrial Holdings company reduced the headcount almost 35%, and then another 10% quit to find a better company (I wish I did the same). After promising we would be pleased with the rewards and recognition of the new organization, we start seeing benefits disappear systematically. Most recently we lost some paid holidays and our annual salary increase was capped below industry standard. The management team thinks we get paid too much and expects very high margins on a commoditized product This is disturbing because I gave the company my loyalty and now I am penalized. This behavior are warning signs of the dystopian future as an employee of Morton Salt.

Pros

Office is centrally located. Depending on departments there is high caliber performers who have created and implemented great processes.

Cons

New owners not focus on people only profits. After cutting 40 percent of their corporate office without engaging all management, they have destroyed trust and now have to backtrack and rebuild relationships with those behind. Not a good environment to work in those conditions. Those trying to build diversity and inclusion programs, now disrupted and put on mute for now. Culture is your people and if you don’t focus on that first, it’s going to be a tough ride to growth.

Another once-proud victim of corporate piracy

Business Outlook

Pros

A once proud and iconic brand, organized and managed as a family company with a family culture has fallen victim to the jaws of another corporate raider that places numbers above people. The new owners from SCI operate from an archaic business model, unaware of the entire concept of triple bottom line (TBL) or the three “P’s”: People, Planet, and Prosperity. The new management might believe they understand some basic principles of corporate finance, but like locusts who consume valuable resources for short-term gain, their model in unsustainable. Those left behind to cleanup the mess will come to understand this and bail in short order. Let's just hope the last one out the door remembers to turn out the lights...

Cons

No incentives for mutual success.
