Great while it lasted!

When original management was on site, company was great!
|
Almost all employees were let go.

Utter destruction by the Nortek Corporation
|
|
Getting a check for doing very little or nothing . Great place to run your personal business while others around surf web
|
Nortek appointed executives barely on premises . New team lack understanding of products, process and sales.
One relives his Cisco glory days and supporting a windmill concept with other AV Co. Yes person to group president

Killed by corporate
|
|
Gefen used to be a family environment with lots of room for growth and opportunity. There was stability.
|
Corporate takeover has killed the company. Several corporate members have jumped in and are trying to run this business based on what they think works on paper. The family atmosphere is dead. Employees are ignored and disregarded. All upper management has been removed. Many key employees have also been let go or quit. Working conditions have become unbearable.

You failed to learn why Gefen was successful. Because of this, the customers will go elsewhere and the company is doomed to die. RIP Gefen.

Lot's of changes with a major overhaul in process from Top to Bottom
|
|
People are friendly and despite the purchase by Nortek out of RI many years ago it operated much the same until recently. Casual work environment, products are exciting and there is genuine interest by most of the team to be successful. Corporate is putting in infrastructure to make it "world class status" so innovative additions in the wind.
|
Recent makeover and oust of all the senior management including founder. Replaced with corporate A team list but they lack leadership talents, synergy and product knowledge. Unable to determine future of this company as operations and talent is in a state of flux. Morale at all time low and uncertainty in the air.

Pick a path and stick with it. Constant changes in leadership and business model without clear communication effects the bottom line and makes us all wonder "who is running the show". Invest the time and energy to fix what is broken and support what is not.

Stay as far away as possible
|
|
Friendly coworkers, Casual dress code
|
Managment can not make up their mind, their decision will change periodically, and you will get blamed for something they advised you to do prior to changing their mind.
No motivation or credit is given for a good job or effort you put in your position, instead you will be criticized on everything.

Dizzy ride through years of explosive growth, organizational changes, chaos, high stress
|
|
Casual dress allowed
Yearly bonus at Christmas Time
Friendly co-workers
Close to home for many people
Hourly shifts limited to 8 hours a day
|
Senior management constantly reverses decisions causing major re-work of projects
Front-line workers have no authority. Much time is wasted getting approvals for trivial matters
Praise for a good job is absent but scorn for mistakes is loud
Management is often absent the premises when needed for decisions
Knowledge is de-centralized and projects have to go thru many desks to get done
Shared computer systems can be unreliable or slow

Stop reversing decisions and wasting workers time

Have more open-door discussion sessions with your people and seriously consider suggestions
Centralize knowledge about products; eliminate the need to visit a "chain of desks"
