Pros
The employees are a good group and want the company to succeed. They are the leader in the industry due to their history and name recognition.
Cons
Upper management’s expectations of the employees are unrealistic on every level. A new General Manager is assigned to this IDEX business unit just about every 18 months and comes with a new direction. The sales/marketing/quality/logistics departments need many more employees to do what upper management is requiring. In most cases, individuals are doing two or three jobs. Communication within this organization is poor at best between/within departments and there is a constant upper management power struggle. They are not developing any new markets for their products and their primary customer base is shrinking quickly.
