Review from Operations Dept

Great person to work with

They know what they are doing

There amazing you couldn't ask for any better people to work with...

They walk the floor and answer some questions.

They are considerate of their employees.

Review from Engineering Dept

Customer focus with strong technical requirement

If there's questions it gets figured out. Conflict gets resolved.

too early to tell as i have not been with the company long enough

Nothing to like! Stock prices I suppose.

very supportive, good communication accessible

Really nothing only care about numbers

They are aggressive about winning in many markets.

Honest, open dialogue about where we are and what we need to do to reach our goals. And the truth telling that happens along the way. It's not a sunshine pump.

Review from HR Dept

healthy work culture and work life balance, realistic goals, clear feedback

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Streamline processes & reward those that actually do the work

Communication, an listening to tool box briefs, an less of a blame culture an finding solutions

Stay with the facts and don't find excuses for bad decisions

Stay with the facts. Don't find excuses for wrong decision and blame it to others.

Training more people to learn things that are essential to work every day and not have over time.

Understanding operations and current state before making changes, understanding peoples physical limits and mot creating extreme work conditions

Talent development and opportunities to advance are significantly lacking. Appoint leaders with genuine humilty and forward thinking traits.

Painting a more compelling vision and work on improving work culture. Work to retain and value talent

Communication is absolutly non existent,
