    Pros

    I have been working at CMCO for 10 years. CMCO is a leading designer and manufacturer company for material handling intelligent motion solutions. If you have mechanical, electrical or software engineering background, CMCO is the right place to advance your career. There are plenty of choices within the company if you would like to pursue technical direction, project management direction or product management direction.

    Cons

    The company has hybrid working hours. You can consider it either pros or cons.

    Significant Room for Improvement

    Pros

    - (Almost) Everyone I work with has been friendly enough so far.

    Cons

    First let me say that I genuinely hope things turn around for this company. The potential is certainly there. I think they are 2-3 good hires/fires away. - Inflexibility. Successful companies realize when something isn't working. If they fail, they fail quickly and pivot. CMCO plows straight ahead with failed systems and processes, continuously throwing, time, money and manpower at issues to no avail. Change occurs much slower than it should/needs to in order to remain competitive. - Meetings. Related to the ineptitude are the endless meetings. The company seems to correlate meetings with progress, when in fact the opposite is occurring. One problem typically equals seven meetings and zero solutions. - Poor Delegation. Delegation is critical for successful management... That said, everyone I've worked with in an upper management position is ignorant to what is going on under them. I'm not being hyperbolic - I can't think of one exception. It's a systemic issue. They pass off responsibility and hope the person they've delegated to knows what they're doing (and they usually don't). - Benefits. In America, top talent usually choose positions with top benefits. CMCO does not offer competitive PTO.
