A Venture Capitalist Driven Company is Not Good

Pros

Local environment has great hard working folks that are a pleasure to be around and work with.

Cons

It's become clear that the venture capitalist owners are only in the game for short term profitability at the expense of the employees and long term business. There have been no raises for many years and this year 401K matching has been taken away along with forced time off without pay. Many of my colleagues are becoming increasingly unhappy and disgruntled. Internal reorganizations are occurring for short term gains that are very bad for the companies long term outlook.

Terrible Management

Pros

Good knowledgable people working in Production.

Cons

Benefits keep getting reduced, no pay raises for years. Keep buying companies that don't fit with the core business, that aren't doing well and that's dragging the corp. down. People overworked, quality is suffering. The VP doesn't even say "hello" when passing you in the hall, if and when he's in the plant. Got rid of a lot of the longtime knowledgeable people by buyouts and layoffs and thats hurt the direction of the company.

Pros

Many passionate employees that care about the work they produce and want to do what’s right for the customer.

Cons

Upper management is clueless as to how low employee morale is. Raises are non-existent (for many years in a row), the company is laying off critical employees left and right, they pride themselves on “”lean manufacturing” but what that means is they work their employees to the bone because they don’t want to hire anyone or spend more than that have to. There is NO cross function between sales and production. There is no management training, no communication, no forward thinking, no steps to fix what’s broken, just adding on extraneous steps and processes that don’t make sense to the customer.
