Vantaggi
Good rank and file people to work with. The company's mid-level managers are so inept that it provides many opportunities for comic relief during the day. They are preparing for a merger or something bigger perhaps making the numbers on paper look good so that the investors can get their golden parachute. Do double the work because of the systems not linked together.
Svantaggi
Senior management (All EX K&N people) is oblivious to the bumbling ineffectiveness of their middle management. Corporate management is hell bent on hiring 'fresh' faces directly out of college, with the intent of molding them in their own image, only to see those fresh faces bolt after 12-24 months. Associates in any department other than sales are seen as inferior and insignificant. All departments except sales are understaffed. Headquarters, Basil Switzerland) are 10 years behind in Technology and refuse to invest. They have spent too much into SAP TM and it has been proven not to be an efficient solution but actually more time consuming. They are now outsourcing every department as fast as possible, Investing in Shared Service Centers. CRM constantly preached but it is not an effective solution.
