Overly-Aggressive Growth Goals and Going Nowhere Fast - Anonymous employee Brady Employee Review

- No on-boarding process. - HR functions have been off-shored. Good luck finding anyone in HR locally that's willing to respond to questions or knows what's going on. - Corporate accounting has been off-shored. - Company is atrophied with process management and still can't get it right. - Company hires newly-minted MBAs to manage employees with much more experience who know the business and industry far better and should be promoted to management themselves. - Meetings, meetings, meetings and more meetings! Then meetings to discuss the previous meetings. Try getting any real work done under those circumstances. - If the last round of management strategy hasn't worked, it's on to the next round of "simplifications," otherwise known layoffs and reductions and cost increases in benefits. - Hires consultants rather than trusting employees to grow the business. - Acquires other businesses to grow the company rather than innovating. Innovation is not in Brady's DNA. - Management far too conservative - amazingly risk-averse. - Quality of product has diminished. The majority of manufacturing has gone off-shore with dire results. - The beatings will continue until moral improves.
