Consistency in message to all level of organization from executive team

Advice to Senior Management

The company really needs to evaluate the message that it sends to different regions regarding their growth strategies and needs to allow for flexibility in times of financial turmoil and flux. The team seems unappreciative of what production level staff and local plant management voluntarily give up in order to make the organization a decent place to work.

Pros

+Competitive base salary
+Decent sales tools
+Clean, safe workplace
+Nice retirement savings plan
+Good communication on sales material changes
+Fair interview process
+High turnover in sales

Cons

+Few competitive advantages
+Average pricing
+Poor sales support from regional sales management
+Poor or no reputation outside of west coast

Advice to Senior Management

Bring culture of west coast operations to other locations to ensure long term success of each new hire. More constructive support when a rep is struggling.

Pros

The "sweatshop" employees on the floor; real and good to great attitudes, especially for the duplicitous and disingenuous work environment. The willingness of workers to continue to do their best in spite of management playing games to undermine their employees efforts.

Cons

The "darwinian evolutionary" style of successive management, which undermied any level of trust, in being replaced for any reason--whether it be personal or misperception based on the "popular flavor this week, month, etc. ... The practice of fact finding, only to protect from legal liability, and not correct the problem. Non-admission of problems or attitudes, especially from management hierarchy. In short, "Do as I say, not as I do" ethos.

Advice to Senior Management

Strive to put genuine integrity into practice; not just lip service in order to feign obeisance, or CYA philosophy. THIS NEEDS TO START FIRST, AT THE TOP!!!!

Pros

Overall a postive working environment. Good pay for the job. Offer some room for advancement. Early morning start time means off pretty early in the day.

Cons

Must have a college degree to advance very far. Seems like company does not advance with new ideas or technologies as quickly as most of the competitors.

Advice to Senior Management

Get with the times.
