Cons

Advice to Senior Management

more pay for ees

Pros

Pay isn't bad, benefits are OK, upper managers were affable, but disconnected from day-to-day operations and the associated operational realities.

Cons

Middle managers are some of the worst I've seen in 20 years in my field, quite willing to take credit for your work while figuratively knifing you in the back.

Advice to Senior Management

Watch your backs, because your middle management has no ethics and will stop at little or nothing to eventually take your jobs as they did mine. The old-timers learned one lesson from the bankruptcy - how to camouflage their lapses until they can be blamed on the newcomers.

Pros

Great Corp communications, the latitude to do my job was better than other places I have worked, for the most part corporate support in my work activities was far beyond expectations (operations focus tended to be profit before people), compensation was superior to prior employers, work environment was ok for manufacturing, very clean. Fairly good response time to problems--they did not shy away from addressing issues.

Cons

Some very outdated philosophies regard people treatment, that may have changed since I worked there. Human Resources was working very hard regarding educating their managers on treatment issues (with moderate resistance from ops).

Advice to Senior Management

Keep on the path, you are headed in the right direction.
