Avantages
A top 5 manufacturer in most product categories, although distant and trailing position behind market leaders Stable product platforms, basics for the markets served Most employees "the doer's" are pleasant and hard working Latest CEO has a strong track record and respect of the industry If you can outwit and outlast wave after wave of the zombie horde, by default you might be successful
Inconvénients
Very limited opporunity for career advancement, often described internally as a place where poor managers go to ride out their deficient careers - abundant glass ceilings Commodities business with a "buy" mentality, limited innovation or investment in human capital, goods or services Significant gaps between "Have's" and "Have Nots" Handful of good Director's and VP's; however, lackluster/immature/insecure leadership is pervasive Dismal facilities in RTP, only trumped by insufficient merit increases and non-existent bonus payout structure Revolving CEO door; high degree of employee turnover
