Pros
A very friendly work environment. Rockford MI office has a legacy of managing brands like Hush Puppies and Merrill.
Cons
Lexington office has most successful brands like Sperry Top-Sider, Stride Rite and Saucony but Rockford wants to run things their way. Blake Krueger, like most CEOs, cares most about cutting costs and stock price. There has been yearly visits by the suits to hand out lay-offs-- bad for morale. There seems to be no commitment to building brands and growing business.
