Pros

Financial results great for 2009. Senior Leadership finally stabilized. Decent growth trends. Good Talent Acquisition in last 18 months.

Cons

TOO LEAN in human capital and investment in the Supply Chain infrastructure; lack of people, diverse talent and innovation in plants, and raw material sourcing. No investment for the future to support sales. No plan for raw materials; spot buying is unreliable and costly long-term.

Advice to Senior Management

The so-called turn-around will be short lived beginning to surface in 2010. No investment in knowledgeable people, capital equipment, and a strategy beyond Sales will lead to sub-optimal performance very shortly.

Pros

Solid company. Average salaries. Being a small company and lean you get exposed to senior management levels fairly easy and quickly.

Cons

Little advancement opportunities. Career development is non-existing

Advice to Senior Management

Get serious on making career development a reality rather than just empty words
