Advice to Senior Management

I have seen to many companies fail by not being prepared enough for success. Customers have a degree of tolerance to problems generated by this, but it only lasts so long. Increased sales are good, but if you can't service the new business correctly, you will lose a customer that you have gained now as well as a potential customer that you would have had later if you had paced your growth with your ability to give reliable and consistent service. The Pittsburgh Facility is a model of process interference and customer service has turned into customer triage. Also, your depository of experience is being depleted by the crushing demand of management’s vein attempt to “Catch-up”. 60-70 hour weeks are ok during spikes in demand. However, it is becoming part of the operating model and you will lose the people that have, up to recently, made this facility successful.

Pros

They are financially strong, leader in their Industry.

Cons

Alvin Glick does not realize what his management is doing to the empoyees, the family needs to take control again, the company is slipping fast away from the philosophy it was founded on.

Advice to Senior Management

Interview employee's on how they are managed and how that effects the outcome of the job they are able to do for the company. Is the company morale where it use to be? Do employee's feel valued or lied to?

Pros

Good benefits, financially sound, there are good people in the organization mostly in non-management roles.

Cons

sex and race discrimination, do not like independent thinkers or people who share opinions that differ from theirs.

Advice to Senior Management

Ask employees honestly for suggestions and don't find ways to black list them when you hear the answer.
