      Extremely weak leadership that doesn't value their people at all

      Anonymous employee

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great brand and products; long time history in precision optics and technology; some hard working co-workers

      Cons

      Leadership is non-existing; upper management doesn't know how to run a company which has resulted in loss in revenue 8+% over the last few years. There's no employee recognition; people are taken for granted and not always treated well. Senior management represents old-school thinking in an ever-changing market and can't keep up.

      Great Product, Poor management, Losing market share

      Marketing

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Best products in its class, good engineering, A small majority of the people really care about the success of the company. Not too many competitors due to the niche in which the company operates. Offers lots of training, spends lots of money on perks.

      Cons

      Poor management decisions at all levels including HR, IT, Sales. Executive. Bonuses based an volume targets, not on actual good work or customer satisfaction. Continued loss of market share eroding cash balance but spending on ineffective proposals continues. Best employees seem to find other employment, leaving only mid level quality people to run the ship. Marketing needs new direction as money is spent on poor advertising campaigns.
