Vantaggi

Many of the executive committee members are personable and care about their work and business.

Svantaggi

- Lean Management Style, resulting in burnout and high attrition due to consolidation of critical roles that management didnt know were critical. - Poor communication between corporate and factories. Corporate team has zero knowledge on what goes in to making the product, resulting in unrealistic expectations being set on plant staff. This also applies to benefits and work environment - Wildly non-compliant - Rampant favoritism - Negligent leadership with zero career pathing and development opportunities (unless it’s forced by corporate L&D) - Pay structure for hourly staff was developed to highly compensate those who work high hours. Structure for exempt staff unequal between sites/gender/race for all departments. - Many skeletons of former management practices coming to light, many of who are still employed with the company.
