When will the Executive Leadership Wake Up?

Pros

Steady growth business; loyal customer base. New CEO seems to get it, but the empire is falling- something needs to happen sooner than later.

Cons

Weak and toxic leadership over the last five years- Good people are leaving in droves. Voluntary and involuntary. The toxic leadership is driving long term, valued employees away. Our competitors win- we lose. Customers lose as well- they are the core to our business, foundational, back-order rate is out of control and customers are leaving as well.

Pros

Affordable benefits & decent work-life balance

Cons

Office is quite segregated with clear tension between operations, office, and management employees. Systems are from the Ice Age - requires repeated and tedious effort to manage purchase orders. SAP transition continues to be delayed Management is often unprofessional and not open to new problem solving methods. They do not establish or share best practices resulting. Often micromanages employees, instead of giving them the independence to be accountable for their job duties. On-site HR only tends to recruitment issues - directing employees to call 800 number for all of their issues No flexibility in 2013 such as telecommuting, lap tops, etc.
