Business outlook
Pros
Financially stable company with long corporate history. Diverse international markets and product lines. Few significant competitors. Good benefits. Market average only pay for top professional types.
Cons
Company does not do as well financially when commodity and energy prices rise. Company has always been very frugal on spending, almost to a fault. Internal training and travel opportunities are limited even in good times. As it has grown larger, culture does not seem to care about its people anymore. Lot of experienced turnover in past five years. Newer people don't understand the business and don't seem to care to learn it. After a few years of below market raises, most top people move on.
