Great Intentions - Terrible Execution

Anonymous employee

Pros

Private family held company. Fisk. Gene, and the rest of the family truly seem to care about the company and the employees.

Cons

* Externally hired executive level managers are complete hypocrites. Ridiculous demands, no respect for employees or work/life balance. Current view of working level employees - with very little understanding of the business and regulations, they made promises to Fisk they cannot keep. Every day is a new fire drill - complete with a firing squad to bury today's scapegoat. * No empowerment to make decisions below executive level. Projects continue long after no one on the project team believes in them. * No consideration of available resources - no new project is too low a priority. Lack of focus is perpetuating the lack of true innovation projects as creative resources wasted on fixing past issues (lack of documentation, splintered non-global oversight, new internal regulatory limits, etc). * No decisions ever certain - too many zombie projects. Project killed one day, revived months later. * Teams dinged for not following new processes - when the demands to bypass them come directly from executive level decisions.

Pros

Good, smart employees. The pleasant environment. Socially conscious company. Flexible schedule. Convenient location. Access to higher ups in various departments.

Cons

Honestly don't have any cons re working here. Maybe some people wouldn't enjoy working in Racine, but the s.c. Johnson area was fine.
