Pros
This company used to be a good company to work for… Ever since Mike Schoeb was made CEO, it’s gone downhill big time.
Cons
Poor leadership comes from the top of this company, driven by greed to sell the company and make a higher multiple for its private equity ownership. The strategy to go direct, squeeze its workers and cut costs in products has eviscerated the better inner workings of this company and left it in shambles. The constant change of direction and shuffling of the cards to look for different results has caused mass exodus of all the knowledgeable, good employees. Micromanaging / know-it-all Leadership dictates down every move that was once trusted to experienced, professional employees who were more in touch with the markets and the customers. The result is a ship that sails in the wrong direction for months, wasting people and resources. When the end of every year comes, management will throw the wrong people under the bus for doing exactly what they we’re told to do and then change direction again with little to no input on strategy other than their own hunch based on a few bad inside actors who surround the CEO.
