Pros
- Legacy cased pump products with strong reputation in many markets.
- Some talented, dedicated people genuinely care about customers and coworkers
- A few long-term employees try to uphold quality and integrity despite leadership challenges
Cons
-Toxic culture where fear, defensiveness, favoritism, and blame replace trust and accountability.
- No felt safety or trust. Complaints to HR or leadership can result in negative consequences for those who speak up
- Leadership lacks strategy or planning, prioritizing short-term sales over long-term stability.
- Anti-customer mindset: slow responses, inconsistent communication, and little urgency to fix known issues.
- Anti-employee practices: unclear expectations, delayed or absent incentives, frequent reorganizations, no transparency.
- No real path for growth. People used to be able to grow but that is gone. Promotions are inconsistent, roles are not always posted.
- Problems are solvable, but leadership avoids addressing root causes or seeking input from those closest to the work.
- Very low morale due to burnout, turnover, and a lack of support.
- Goals and pay transparency is poor. The system feels like it was designed to avoid compensating people.
