communication between business units needs to improve

Pros

Descent salary. I enjoyed working with my fellow employees. The concept of the business was good. The employees did a great job. Most of the employees were long term employees and were very skilled in their area. Most of the employees took pride in thier work.

Cons

Too many higher executives and not enough workers. Excessive and unnecessary spending. Nonmanagement employees suffer the consequences of the over spending of the executive staff.

Advice to Senior Management

If the senior management would cut back on excessive spending and over staffing executive positions, their bottom line would be healthier.

management did not do their job

Advice to Senior Management

Practice what you preach

Pros

challenging work tasks, decent pay, able to see where your work pays off

Cons

seemed to be gap between management and employess

Pros

A Global Company with opportunities to travel and interact with all cultures. If you are there long enough you will travel. Many long term employees are fiercely loyal and have never worked anywhere else, a pro and a con. The benefits are good, including adoption allowances not many companies have. Good bonus program once you reach the senior management levels.

Cons

Slow to respond to change, some managers believe employees are like pencils, keep using it by shaving more and more off until there's nothing left, then toss it. You need to be able to hold your own in office politics to get ahead. Advancement is sometimes based on your ability to work the system and personal grudges come into play if you've perceived to have crossed someone.

Advice to Senior Management

Diversify, entire company is heavily affected by economy. But you look to be in a good spot once the economy does rebound, if you can last that long.

Pros

Managment not on your back pretty good working conditions fairly stress free.

Cons

not a lot of direction on priorites
