Pros

PTO, benefits, discount, challenging work

Cons

The culture is very negative. Corporate HR is making huge efforts to change it but the individual groups are not applying it. Years of restructuring has changed the mindset to that of survival, which fosters finger pointing, diminishing others wins, tons of red tape, and lack of collaboration. Many are unmotivated and feel undervalued.

Pros

Reputable brand, good discount, some great talent who want to see the company do well

Cons

Not competitive financially, limited growth opportunity, no respect, loyalty by employees not rewarded, disorganization among different divisions working in silos. No communication from senior management leads to a lack of trust in our leadership, in addition to compensation of senior team according to our annual 10-K reports, specifically the significant settlement of our previous CEO whilst lower and mid level employees wait three months for seasonal bonuses, with no communication as to when it will be paid. Compensation of senior team perhaps should be reevaluated by the board. Company culture also hierarchical - strategy top down, rather than ideas inspired from all levels of the organization.

They don't get it

Pros

Company name recognition is the only pro.

Cons

Inefficiency at all levels. Company direction unclear. No internal promotion track or path to advancement. Low unit production spread across too many factories, should be vertical. Design needs to catch up to the times, modernize brand and price point to work in the present market. Management gets everything wrong, doesn't offer solutions or support employees, but operates in panic mode and hopes the next chart or graph will solve their human challenges. Production is way too complicated, reinvents the wheel every chance it gets, inefficient. Surprised they're still in business.
