Disappointment and Misalignement - Anonymous employee Columbus McKinnon Employee Review

Leadership is misaligned and dysfunctional and on most days at war with each other over gaining greater control and scope of authority. Leadership struggles with blaming each other for failures and objective misses instead of a unified effort to achieve more as reflected in the stock value performance compared to what it should be. Sales and service leadership are beyond their capacities to lead and direct an expanding and more diversified portfolio mix. This is evident with the string of successive misses on sales targets and goals feeding further into the leadership division between the sales and ops ongoing dysfunctionalities. Lower and Mid-Level management are viewed as disposal and none value added resources and usually fall victim to the upper leadership power and control struggles. Not a good career move to join CMCO.
