Pros

Cons

Hours and location its really great olace

Pros

Not many pros anymore. The offset printing industry as a whole is struggling, and Kodak is 10 years too late to the digital market. Upper management is disconnected from the employee base. Perhaps the only thing they are doing that is correct, estate versifying outside of the printing industry, i.e. the battery manufacturing industry by repurposing there coating technologies to that industry. Many of the long-term employees that are still there are very knowledgeable, but our timing out and will be retiring soon not to mention that a level of frustration with the current situation at Kodak likely impacts the quality of their work.

Cons

The CEO is completely out of touch with reality. His comments to employees on companywide meetings are insulting and belittling. The company is part of a dying industry in a desperately clinging to get into the digital side, but just as they do with digital cameras, they are too late to the market with digital printing. The company is now becoming staffed with the leftovers and new hires with no industry experience and cronies from upper management. Long-term employees are being let go within a year of their retirement, strictly as a cost savings with a little regard to their knowledge (or the loss of their knowledge) and or transferring that knowledge to the changing guard.

Pros

great team and experiences. Learn a lot about adjusting chemistry for manufacturing scale

Cons

company is a rebuilding phase so a lot of growing pains and adjustments being made. Needs younger people to fill in the gaps

Pros

the pay is good for employment

Cons

need some work on the leadership

Pros

Laid back, decent compensation for salaried professionals, make your own hours, unlimited vacation

Cons

Lack of direction of management, the perpetual flaw of Kodak

Pros

Kind and healthy work environment. Helpful coworkers in a company with a rich history.

Cons

No opportunity for pay increases. Archaic systems lead to poor communication between team members. No enthusiasm to deviate from inefficient and failing systems that lost support 20 years ago. Effort and successes are unrewarded and unrecognized outside of the occasional 'great job' at a meeting.

Pros

Great historic brand equity with a very positive workforce doing their best.

Cons

Limited product portfolio due to misaligned research and development funding. Entire corporate division is struggling financial which has triggered misaligned priorities, desperate actions and many key employee departures. Senior leadership and management team don't understand commercial print market or value of legacy employees and customers.

Pros

Currently, they are afraid to fire people even when they have the necessary documentation. They pay on time. 11 paid holidays.

Cons

They are afraid to fire people even when they have the necessary documentation. Technologically, they are conservative to the point of being nearly regressive. Windows XP is still very commonly used and there is a hold on new technology purchasing. New ideas or business concerns are ignored for the preferred old ways.
