1. Human Resources is a joke. They are presenting information that looks like a college professor and an AI bot would have created. Impossible to find information, but when you go to HR for assistance the answer is “it’s on the intranet” with zero guidance. When you go to HR for help, your are made to feel like you are bothering them and that you are beneath them.
2. Use benefits for medical issues at your own risk!
3. The North American branch is under funded and over worked.
4. They are failing to innovate and create new products in the installation products division. Products are not being released and the ones that are being released are not making new revenue.
5. Fight for a budget then fight to spend the budgeted money on exactly for what it was budgeted. It is like the whole of the North American team (especially engineering) is lead by a cheap midwestern grandmother. They will save pennies to avoid millions in revenue opportunities.
6. Most of the product managers only know how to show a product already designed. They don’t understand how to talk to customers about their needs and translate that to an idea that gives the customer value based on that discovered need.
7. Manufacturing is weak at taking on new products that are designed.
8, ZERO paths for advancement if you are a mid-career of late career employee in North American.
