Pros

Pros are the opportunity to work for a company representing a great American brand of construction machinery.

Cons

Poor leadership and management. VERY high turnover due to lack of formalized processes (no annual compensation reviews, no performance standards or career planning tools). Low morale throughout company between departments.

Pros

Team members at lower levels can empathize and support efforts to get the job done. TOP management (C-Suite) and some promising leaders have great heads on their shoulders.

Cons

>Management is recruited from within due to turnover and time of employment and as a result vastly unqualified to lead >College Degree is seen as a negative trait >Veteran Status seen as a negative trait >Turnover is high so nobody knows what they are doing >Little to no training - sink or swim environment where most people just get fed up and leave >Human resources will report back to your management if you go to them for help and then they will then gang up on you >No upward movement unless you stay for 10+ years (but who would want to stay?) >I was getting paid $60k for a job that pays $80k elsewhere. but I didn't find out until after I started >11 Days Paid Time off a year to start out >ENTIRE Bonus/Incentive Team Based Unless you're in sales. >Outdated computer Software/Hardware >Work Work Balance - Overworked for less pay than other comparable positions. >Customers can Dehumanize office personnel and management doesn't back the employees up. >High performance teams/individuals frowned upon and motivation squashed.
