Pros

Manufacture products that improve people's lives.

Cons

Upper Management and their decisions to cut cost in exchange for a quality product. Employee morale is all time low as jobs are being moved from the states to China. Too corporized as an associate culture is gone as you are just an employee for the corporation. They do not promote family values and all they care is the bottom line.

Advice to Senior Management

Stop doing business with China. Listen to lower management as they have found ways to manufacture at current sites and still be competitive with China. China maybe inexpensive piecewise but quality is poor and inconsistant. In the end, China bought products will equal US manufactured products with all of the customer complaints and product returns.
