Pros

The benefits were good, but could NEVER out way the stress level. Fellow employees are good, made some great lasting friendship.

Cons

The company does not respect employees who have spent their life building the company up to where it was. Hard work, dedication and experience is not rewarded. Chances for advancement are very slim without a masters degree. Very stagnant to improve oneself. With the economy the way it is today and jobs hard to come by employees are stuck and will have to take the unfairness until the economy changes. Then they will lose the employees that are working there for a paycheck and not because of loyalty to company. They seem to by interested in hiring temps to fill al the full-time positins they have let go. Guess it saves them money and they don't have to pay benifits.

Pros

Stock out performs most all other companies in sector, best example of lean Mfg outside or Toyota (I actually think we do it better since we are not making simple cars!)

Cons

Step up to the plate, be able to embrace constant change and recreating standard work, people looking for a "comfortable, lay low" job dont belong here. Strong culture, on the bus, or get off.

Pros

Decreased management to leaner levels. Pay and benefits remained the same for the first 6 months.

Cons

Upon taking over a very large multinational medical instrument company cut out all travel for some departments and attendance to national meetings. Removed copiers, stopped replacing ceiling lights. Forbid upgrading computers, took back cell phones and other communication devices. increased costs to field support persons for car, cell phones. Over worked field support. Many resignations. Senior persons taking jobs with competitors or taking lay off package.
