      Lack of Integrity

      Anonymous employee

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Solid brands, international presence, some nice people to work with. Family ownership desires to do good in the world. Not as short term focused as public company.

      Cons

      Senior leadership. Zero empowerment as all decisions made at the senior management level. Lack of ownership for those decisions when failures occur. Makes promises when recruiting employees that it has no intention of honoring. Compensation structure not competitive.

      We appreciate that you took time to share your thoughts. We want to be the kind of place where people can make a real and significant impact, and empowerment is an important part of that. Getting great cross-functional processes in place is key and it’s something we’ve been working on. We’re sorry you didn’t see that in action, but we’re optimistic about great opportunities ahead.

      No advancement opportunities

      Pros

      Pay is competitive. Profit sharing.will be missed.

      Cons

      BPT does not promote within any longer. They would rather a long time employee leave with company knowledge of 17 years than allow that person to be promoted to a new position they are more than capable of filling. They would rather bring someone new in from the outside and have to train that person in corporate culture. Pay raises in this last fiscal were dismal at best. Not fair to punish those that didn't cause the problems and had no work arounds to get work done because of another department.

      Pros

      Most people are great to work with and the pay is fair. Some of the recent reorganization was necessary but it went to far.

      Cons

      Management by fear, management does not want anyone to question anything- just shut up and do it. Low moral, concern about the long term viability of the company, knowledge erosion is getting worse every day. Management does not empower their employees. So much more could get done if they did. Lots of Directors and VP's... Seem to announce a new one each week. Seems to be getting very too heavy.
