Pros

Not a good place to work unless you are one of the children of the directors. Advancement not based on performance, but rather based on your personal relationships with company managers.directors.

Cons

When Checkpoint set up SAP instead of hiring professionals to set up the system correctly they had people that were not developers set up the system. These people had no real SAP knowledge or software development experience so the resulting system is a SAP that does not function correctly. The systems are so poor that even when they do hire people with SAP experience they are hard pressed to succeed as the Checkpoint version is so poorly executed and managed that most of the basic functions companies invest in SAP to use, are not functioning properly. Instead of correcting these errors by allowing developers in overseas divisions correct the errors, directors in service and finance has insisted these highly experienced individuals be locked out of the Thorofare system because they do not want the shortcomings in their divisions recognized. Instead of advancing people based upon experience and education, directors advance those that will cover up their errors and hide them from auditors, internal and external. Anyone who questions these directors and tries to correct processes that do not conform to best accounting practices and damage profitability are fired. they have people in newly created management positions with no real computer skills or management education, but they receive these promotions because the directors know they will follow their orders without question, even when they do not make sense and actually hurt the companies bottom line. This is not a culture that encourages employees to be proactive in increasing profits, rather it is a culture reminiscent of old big business models that no large company I know of still follow because they concentrate salary expenses on managers that have not truly earned them in decades. I am surprised this company has not filed for bankruptcy protection again, the managers are so poor that profitability has to be greatly below what it would be.

Pros

The many high-quality, hard-working teammates in locations all around the world. Global presence in a growing Industry. Brand recognition and a reputation for quality.

Cons

Positions are routinely merged, and budgets cut too deep, leaving departments without the resources required to service our customers. Decisions regarding field support, ERP systems, training, and customer service are seemingly made in a vacuum by myopic and arrogant senior management. Significant losses of both customers and employees have been the result. The focus on printing and RFID has been a major distraction to the core business - and the lack of reinvestment in those core areas has caused us to fall behind.

The dispatch duo, travel, and absentee management.

Understaffed, unresourceful, and micromanaged by absentee management.
