Eastman Kodak – “Hope is fading.”
Pros
My fellow co-workers are great. There is such a desire and determination to bring back the brand that revolutionized photography with "You press the button and We do the rest." There is great potential to bring back the brand with vigor.
Cons
Management at the levels of GM and Functional Directors are out of touch with the business. They are so busy fortifying their old boys' club. It is really disheartening to see opportunity after opportunity go by the wayside in favor of bowing down to Walmart which only errodes the brand and drains profit.
Advice to Senior Management
Time is running out before the brand is gone. Come down out of the tower and walk around with the rank and file. There is so much potential that is going to waste for lack of vision of the business unit level management. I have been a strong supporter of Senior Management, but their lack of visability during the last year.
