Pros

If you are a Blue collar or upper management, this is the company to be

Cons

Middle management is treated worse than BC or upper management. Bonuses cancelled, 25% reduction in pay across mid management compared to company cars for upper managers. Mid managers get action items and targets to ensure that upper management can get their bonuses. I have never seen a company where as a policy bonuses are cancelled in the 3Q for entire middle management.

Business Outlook

Pros

The company compensates its employees fairly and the benefits are o.k. The company is a strong player in the power and telecommunications cables markets due to strong costs controls. The company operates very lean and every employee is critical to the operation so opportunities to learn new skills are constant. Organization is flat so promotion opportunities tend to be lateral and few. A good place to start your career but the pace can be overwhelming for most.

Cons

The company is highly centralized across all functions and very slow to react especially in human resources. The company can be obsessed with poorly defined metrics that drive poor decision making (i.e. employee headcount instead of labor costs). Employees are not evaluated across departments in a consistent manner. Performance expectations are set so high that few can meet them to achieve annual pay increases. Management tends to be punitive so employees fear failure and avoid risk.
