Not a healthy company

Pros

Exciting products, innovative R&D teams, the working level teams truly care and put their heart and soul into the products. Excellent pay, solid benefits. Truly a global company with products that are often top in their categories. So much potential is managed by true leaders.

Cons

Senior management talks about employee morale yet actions do not match words. Even fairly high level leaders are micro managed by the ELT to an amazing level of lower level details, controlling every penny spent and every decision made. Decisions are seemingly made with the very short term financial impact being the primary driver with little emphasis on long term growth. It just does not feel like a healthy company. Having been 8 years since acquired by Onex, and an unsuccessful attempt at sale 3 years ago, employees are standing by waiting to see the next move. This makes for a depressing environment filled with rumors and management does little to alleviate these fears. Sadly people stay because the Rochester market is not great but in the long run this doesn't feel like a company that will attract a new generation of talent and therefore will die as the long term Kodak employees retire.

Dysfunctional HR

Pros

Great products. And yes there are still some here who truly care about the employees. Unfortunately, since the current leadership took over nearly two years ago, there are far fewer of these people than there used to be.

Cons

Many highly knowledgeable, well respected leaders, as well as mid-level employees are now working elsewhere, mostly because of the current leadership. Some were forced out. Others became fed up and left on their own. I've never worked in an environment as poor as this. Yet, no one thinks any of this will change because the only thing that matters to leadership is making their goals and counting their bonuses. Self-preservation has taken the place of teamwork.

Pros

Pay is descent for upstate NY

Cons

Too many things to list. New CEO is full of bla bla. First company broadcast he said the following: 1) "I have 1 chance to prove I am credible". So couple months later he cuts all the benefits (vacation, 401K, and new medical) he send a stupid survey after about respect. He got over a thousand comments and most were negative. Yes, he proved that he is credible LOL! 2) "I want to build a culture of trust and empowerment". "Our experienced dedicated employees are our biggest asset". He cuts half of the employees in the Rochester area. It went from 1400 to less than 700 people. It seems that every week Carestream is losing someone (people are jumping ship like never before). He was asked during one of his bla bla speech. How many people are now working for Carestream in Rochester after all the lay offs. His response was: "I have no idea." Than he was asked don't you thing as a president you should know. his response was: "why does it matter". This shows how much he really thinks about the people. President of a company and he has no idea on how many people work for him. This should be the basic of being a real leader who really cares about their people. "We have to be a (gotta have) company". "Gotta have products, Gotta have place to work". If you ask any 'worker' at Carestream they will tell he is full of s....... Everything is moving to China. No X-ray detectors will be made in Rochester. CEO came to do one thing. Cut Cut and Cut. So book looks good and he can sell the company. He gets a big FAT bonus from Onex corporation.
