Business Outlook

Pros

"The employees on the production floor are a REALLY GOOD group of people. I would put them up against any JCI plant out there. I have never been in another facility where team mates pool together like they do here ,to take care of another member in crisis."

Cons

"Management is running our facility into the ground. They blame 99% of our down time on the employee when in all reallity its poor incoming product, faulty equipment and poor management. Were just a stepping stone for plant managers. We have been in Sycamore IL . since 1987 and have changed plant managers and HR managers damn near every 2 years which causes so much inconsistency that you never know whats going to happen tomorrow. Now ,we just got another new plant manager who comes in and wants everything done his way just like the rest of our past plant managers. Which once again means change. ."

Business Outlook

Pros

Good leadership, good growth opportunities. High integrity. Perfect? NO, but compared to like companies, this is the place to be. Profitable, innovative, rewarding. Many people are upset about moving some businesses to low-cost countries, but it's either that or stop doing certain kinds of products. Just the way it is - we can't work with negative income.

Cons

Part is automotive which is struggling. Too many liberal causes are supported such as the "environment", minority sourcing and worrying about promoting minorities regardless of whether they are best.
