Great career development opportunities at Kodak in return for paltry compensation.

Production manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Kodak offers great development opportunities. They have invested a lot of time and money into my career growth and development. On the job you get exposure to state of the art business practices and fundamentals that can be transferred to any organization. The people are also great at Kodak, there are very few tyrants and ego maniacs in management. The culture is very open and honest where micro-managing is non existent.

Cons

There is a trade off in working for Kodak, you get great training but poor compensation. Another downside is being a Canadian employee, it would appear they are trying to pull all the business back to Rochester or sending it to Asia. There won't be much of a Kodak presence in Vancouver in the years to come.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay, decent benefits, work/life balance. They were good to me (while it lasted)... It is a rather conservative place, but co-workers are nice in general and helpful when you don't directly threathen their position.

Cons

Stress, continuous downsizings, lack of support for professional and personal advancement The work environment is corrupted by the ever-present manace of being the next downsized ("right-sized!"). Rochester is nice, but 5 months of winter is too much...(nothing to do about this).

Business Outlook

Pros

Some of the best technical people in the in the world-wide imaging community worked in the research labs. Both on the photographic film side and the digital imaging side, most technical professionals were very cooperative and simply great to work with.

Cons

From about the third level management and up, managers had a sense of entitlement and seemed to have been placed in their positions for reasons other than competence. However, first line and second level managers, from my experience, were technically competent and sympathetic to non-management employees.
