Pros

Adopted and implemented Lean Management techniques to improve its efficiencies in these austere times for the print industry. The salespeople receive periodic training to improve their order closing skills. Employees that wish to take on new or greater challenges are given the opportunity so long as it makes sense for the vision and goals of the company. Good quality of work-life balance. It's product line is first-rate with strong brand awareness and high customer loyalty.

Cons

Here is where this review's title comes into play. The print industry has been in upheaval since 2008 with demand for web offset equipment diminishing not only for new presses but also for modernizing existing presses. It's a double-whammy for any press auxiliary manufacturer and, unfortunately, the industry has not seen any such supplier close their doors. This makes for a very cut-throat pricing environment that the company must continue to navigate through for 3 more yeas at minimum.

Pros

There are many great people to work with, a lot of opportunities for travel, almost everyone has the ability to be 'hands-on' and to have their new ideas heard, outstanding IS support, health care, fitness and daycare available on site.

Cons

The corporate vision changes so much, it is impossible to keep up. If the business process was working, you wouldn't need so many corporate goals to supplement them. If the business process isn't working, fix it, instead of confusing everyone with so many annual corporate goals. The creation of business units created silos and divided the resources, making it impossible to go 'full speed ahead' on any singularly important project. Being a subsidiary of a much bigger parent company, thee people in this division are treated like a printing company, not a technology company. There is no singular vision for the sales, engineering and service groups. Becuase each division answers to its own goals, there is no sense of 'how do we pull together to advance the business?'
