Pros

Great products with great manufacturing technology. Great place to learn both and potential to improve on both.

Cons

Due to reorganizations and layoff, career development has been very limited the past few years. Current performance review system involves forced ranking of employees, which after going through several layoffs, can be extremely unfair and demoralizing to those who are left. Changes in the industry has put more emphasis on cost savings and desire to make better decisions on projects has created a large beaurocracy, making it very difficult to make decisions and get real work done. It seems, at times, following the "right" new practices and procedures are more important than actually achieving results.

Pros

Outstanding products with some very good brands. Outstanding manufacturing capability. Very family oriented and nice people. A company with the potential to have a great future.

Cons

Historically closed culture which can be slow. Also often accepts mediocrity. Although great brands, marketing and other externally facing functions are still lagging. It's a culture where sometimes people look for reasons to say no instead of yes.
