None, they don't listen anyway

large territories, sometimes lack of direction

It is easy. Cost of living is cheap in Rochester. There are still some brilliant engineers working there.

Cons

You'll probably know more than your boss. And your boss's boss.If you aren't a "lifer" your previous work experience will amuse and amaze them, like cavemen to fire. But beware, that can also scare them if you know more than they do.

Advice to Senior Management

Leave. Seriously. You are horrible. The poor management of this company is what has made it lose 94% of its value i the last 10 years.

Pros

Good compensation for market, both B2C (retail) and B2B opportunities, in competitive markets that challenge you to grow personally, opportunities to move internally. Great name for the resume.

hard to cut your way to prosperity, trying to do more with less has its limits, advancement opportunities will be limited until growth resumes.

Try to maintain or grow presence in Atlanta vs Rochester.

Good people, integrity as a company.

Cons

Struggling to make the transition to a commercial print company. Success questionable.

Pros

Technology was state of the art and company was a leader at one point. Great benefits. Fair in work schedule and flexible for personal time off.

There was not a lot of room for advancement unless you relocate and the salary range was lower than industry standard. No salary increase at all the last four years of work nor were there any other bonuses. Work got frustrating because of the constant downsizing the past four years.

little bit conservative company to get promoted

-Albert Einstein
Unfortunately Kodak GCG received an unfair portion of the infinite stupidity of the universe.

Advice to Senior Management

If Kodak management spoke only when they knew what they were talking about, a deathly hush would descend upon the earth!

Pros

This has been the best company I ever worked for and I've been treated very well overall. The company offers a competitive salary, fair benefits and a flexible work schedule. Some opportunities offer creative and technical latitude.

Cons

This company is seriously hurting due to a major slow down in it's traditional and core businesses. The IT department is struggling to maintain legacy systems that are no longer key for growth. In general there is a significant shortage of talented people due to a recent mass exodus.

Advice to Senior Management

Management is driving the company into the ground. In the past five years the majority of management has been replaced by former HP executives at the leadership of our fearless CEO. You need to start investing seriously in new technology if there is ever to be a future. Increasing marketing effort is useless if the company doesn't have anything customer's want to buy. George Eastman is dishonored by the current management approach, it's time to clean house for a chance at a real future.
