Cons
3 weeks of forced PTO per year uses up ALL the PTO you get until you hit the 5 year mark and start accruing an additional week. Also, you don't get to choose when to have your vacation time. it will be the week of 4th of July and the 2 weeks of Thanks giving and Christmas. This year, we are forced in to 2 weeks Christmas/New Years and they are giving us an additional 3 holidays to compensate so most people don't have to go unpaid.
The company is very segmented and lacks cohesiveness on a basic level. Different business areas have different systems for order entry, accounting, and operations which conflict and make for multiple overlapping systems that have to be managed.
Very inefficient
Advice to Senior Management
Organize the company as a whole and enforce more consistent processes and operation systems to eliminate all the inefficiencies.
