Pros
Resemblance of family business still exists in pockets... ie, the people who have been there 20 - 30 years still have a basic desire to see company succeed and want to do the right thing by the staff and look after them.... but that's an uphill battle as new management only understanding of LMR has been gained on the job at Tait. The company returned to profitability two years ago - but that needs to be 'substantial and sustainable' if the company is to continue.
Cons
No pay rise plus no investment in training over last 5 years is forcing good people to leave. Current Senior Management team is ineffective and not cohesive. Too much time has been spent attempting to lure JVC Kenwood to invest in the company - but little thought has been put into considering where that investment will be best spent. Products are late to market (due to resourcing and investment issues) and are becoming 'me too' offerings. Motorola continues to make great strides yet Tait (even with Harris and JVC Kenwood) will not be able to compete.
