Pros

There are a lot of decent, well-meaning employees at Thetford. It's a fun industry to be in, with personal lifestyle connections to a lot of employees. There is a lot of potential to return to prominence if management can clearly define the mission and provide employees with clear direction and expectations. Compensation and benefits are fair.

Cons

The company is suffering from several years of heavy turnover. Long-time employees left and were either not replaced, or new hires were trained adequately or not at all. Processes and systems are decades out of date. If there is a medium-or long term plan, nobody seems to know what it is. Employees are in a perpetual state of putting out fires and covering their butts. Departments are understaffed. Cutting costs at the expense of quality is a recurring problem. Besides a couple of annual on-site lunches, the company is devoid of culture. Nothing is done to foster team building or personal growth. Diversity is non-existent on the corporate office.

Advice to Management

Start over. Produce a meaningful mission statement. Translate that into clear goals and expectations at every level. Review and rethink all processes and procedures. Invest in training. Emphasize teamwork and cooperation.
