Lowe-Martin Group Reviews

Pros

Lots of friendly people to work with.

Cons

There is virtually no advancement. If you do move up, do not expect a raise from your very low starting pay. Morale is extremely low. Way to much management. When times are tough, expect to be laid off, however, your 27 managers will not be. You will never, ever get positive feedback, but expect to hear about it when you screw up.

Pros

The only thing that I liked about the company was my co-workers.

Cons

Very top heavy company.
Extended Management, lean production staff.
Low morale amongst employees. Unqualified managers and team leaders.

Advice to Senior Management

Management needs a complete overhaul, a serious HR audit of management skills should be initiated.

Pros

Job security and not much else. This company will keep you around for the rest of your life but will cut you to the bone in terms of salary and will show you less and less respect as you get older. If you truly value security and have no where better to go and have no real ambitions, this company is for you.

Cons

Lack of talent and clear decisions from senior management, the wrong people get promoted, and the good people who do their jobs well never get promoted because its easier to hire someone new for a new position than to retrain someone to replace someone very good at their job.

Very poor communication between management to its employees. A lot of power play and fighting for territory in the management group.

The management team at this company likes to think of itself as being part of a big famous corporation when in fact, it is in a sunset industry and has very poor initiative for change.

Advice to Senior Management

Start promoting the right people and showing respect to the employees who keep your company running. Stop the political infighting and communicate more with your employees.
