Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits and salaries are good, sometimes too good. Work conditions, equipment, tools were good, never lacking. Many of their plants have excellent people running them.

Cons

No direction or vision from leadership, and incompetence at higher levels. Constant downsizing creates competitive cut throat atmosphere,lack of cooperation and teamwork, which wastes money and time.
