Cons

Gerber Scientific although being a leader in automated solutions to varying industries - does not provide a total positive attitude towards their employees - benefits are great. They have forgotten what got them to the dance in the beginning - which was the employee base. They tend to forget the little people for the sake of the organization.

Advice to Senior Management

Never-ever forget what brought you to the dance - the vision of being the first-with technology and the individuals that got you where you are today and their belief in what they and you do!

Pros

The company appears to be aggressive toward new business development - however they are chasing the "industry" at the moment.

Cons

Major downfall - as successful as they are they have forgotten what has made them what they are today and the contribution of the employees in general.

Advice to Senior Management

Be more attentive to the knowledge of your employee base.

Pros

The "little people" are some of the most hard working, industrious people anywhere. It is a great "team environment" within the lower ranks. Cafeteria is on site, which is one of the few benefits available. It is a business casual office so you don't need to buy expensive corporate clothing.

Cons

There is no communication from Senior Management at all. Everyone seems to be in a constant state of confusion. A lot of times oyu don't even see the headlights before you get thrown under a bus. A lot of finger pointing and favoritism is showed, and absolutely no loyalty to some of the hardworking folks that have been there over 2 decades. They are just shoved out the door first during tough times so less expensive workers can be brought in or outsourced. The business strategies are over 30 years old. Things went downhill after the death of Mr. Gerber

Advice to Senior Management

Comunicate!
