    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.

    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    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.

    Technologically Conservative Company

    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    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.
