Pros

I worked in the Downers Grove location for many years. Most of the people I worked with were very competent and easy to get along with. The products were interesting. Was able to make most of the changes, improvements I thought would be best.

Cons

The site was closed. We were told the location was doing well - one of the best in the company, so the decision to close it and move products to other sites did not make much sense to anyone.

Pros

Great people in field and customer facing positions. Vast knowledge base of applications and instrumentation.

Cons

Very poor executive leadership- don't want to spend money on marketing, promotion of instrumentation, or relevant customer applications. Most do not know industry. Wonder why sales are decreasing.
