Pros

If you like being busy your job responsibilities will continue to grow as Marmon loses customers and employees and ask the survivors to do more with less...at the same salary. If you enjoy drinking 80/20 Kool-Aid this is the place for you. However you will have to develop a liking for a slight antifreeze aftertaste, because the top dogs are poisoning everything that was once good about Marmon.

Cons

Marmon is in a death spiral. Their ill-advised management strategies result in falling business levels, so they have to reduce head counts and inventories to match the decreased revenues, which causes service issues that further negatively affect business levels, which necessitates further resource cuts. Lather, rinse, repeat...right down the drain! Constantly changing guardrail-to-guardrail business strategies. Micromanagement. Cult-like management group-think because if you speak your mind, you're out. This ensures that the company doubles down on disastrous business policies, like firing customers. As the old guard management is forced to leave, all that is left are the yes-men who are only worried about their own jobs. There is no concern for the individual human beings they supervise and nobody speaks the truth. The current atmosphere is oppressive and everyone is looking over their shoulders, terrified of being handed their walking papers. Absolutely nobody in management can be trusted.

Pros

All positive aspects of this job left 3 years ago when management changed.

Cons

If you are looking for a career this is not a company to work for. With the management change 3 years ago, you’ll just be a number to the bean counters. M/K fired a majority of their customers and employees, closed facilities, and tried to grow business. Does that make sense? They are running too lean and mean. Those who did not get fired, left on their own and are out trying to get M/K business. It will be a slow erosion of business year over year for M/K until the upper management finally figure it out. If you are looking for a job at this company, do yourself a favor and ask around in the industry about them and ask them why the job is open. My guess as to why the job is open is b/c the person got smart and got off the sinking ship.

Pros

Lots of work since there are so few employees. Great talent pool for competition. Get to see front row on how to run a business in the ground.

Cons

Feel bad for new employees that have no idea what they are walking into. You better keep that resume up to date.
