Treat people fair. Promote based on merit vs. who your friends are.

The health insurance was the best thing about the job. The Christmas parties is always nice. But other than that, nothing special.

The room for growth is terrible. The position that you get hired for is the position that you will remain in years later.

Advice to Senior Management

Stop promoting by favortism alone and actually use the best fit for the position profile instead. Open the doors to some current employees for growth instead of not giving them a chance.

Pros

Its a job. Its steady work. Its a big organization. There are multiple locations that you can find work in. There are multiple departments that you can move to if there is an opening.

Cons

Like any big organization, Brother International gets bogged down in meetings, procedures, policies, and egos. A lot of good people work for the company because its a job. Are they happy or satisfied, no. Are they uninspired, yes. Meetings and reports have become more important that servicing the customers.

Advice to Senior Management

Listen to your employees. In order to improve your organization you need fresh young blood in your upper managemnet. Some of your managers in the service departments are too set in their ways to listen. This is to the disadvantage of your customers.
