Pros
Not many pros anymore. The offset printing industry as a whole is struggling, and Kodak is 10 years too late to the digital market. Upper management is disconnected from the employee base. Perhaps the only thing they are doing that is correct, estate versifying outside of the printing industry, i.e. the battery manufacturing industry by repurposing there coating technologies to that industry. Many of the long-term employees that are still there are very knowledgeable, but our timing out and will be retiring soon not to mention that a level of frustration with the current situation at Kodak likely impacts the quality of their work.
Cons
The CEO is completely out of touch with reality. His comments to employees on companywide meetings are insulting and belittling. The company is part of a dying industry in a desperately clinging to get into the digital side, but just as they do with digital cameras, they are too late to the market with digital printing. The company is now becoming staffed with the leftovers and new hires with no industry experience and cronies from upper management. Long-term employees are being let go within a year of their retirement, strictly as a cost savings with a little regard to their knowledge (or the loss of their knowledge) and or transferring that knowledge to the changing guard.
