RecommendsNeutral OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at Okabashi Brands
Pros
This is a family atmosphere where there is tons of opportunity to be part of a team or an individual contributor.
Cons
Company is having a difficult time growing. Okabashi shoes are very durable and comfortable but it seems to have difficulty reaching critical mass.
Advice to Management
Concentrate on the 3p's, People, Product and Process. If all of these things progress then the company will progress. If one is missing the company will stagnate.
