Pros

The GM will be fired soon?

Cons

Where to begin? The guy at the top of the division is a deeply insecure little man who looks for reasons not to like people and tries to make their life awful thereafter. The strategy swings wildly, meaning there is no strategy. When this is called out as an issue in leadership meetings the dude gets extremely agitated and the person who spoke up is soon gone (that wasn't me). Hiring more sales rep is not a strategy. Seriously. That's a tactic. One that has failed spectacularly. In 3 years there has been nearly 100 percent turnover everywhere but at the places with the lowest earners. 22-25 year olds are put in management positions to save money. They were in a death spiral before Covid. Don't let them tell you anything other than that.

Pros

Was a great company to work for before acquisition by Brady in 2012.

Cons

- PDC is a subsidiary of Brady Corporation since 2012. Brady stated that PDC would be ran as an independent company. However, Brady has micromanaged the company since acquisition. - Brady makes poor decisions that undermined PDC’s productivity. - Many Townhall meetings Brady mgmt would complain that PDC was a bad investment due to problems in manufacturing and getting product to customers. However, Brady had replaced all of PDC’s experienced manufacturing personnel with people inexperienced in manufacturing PDCs type of products. - Brady is constantly laying off personnel and their responsibilities are dumped on already overwhelmed employees. - New employees are rarely hired to work at the Valencia CA site; jobs are now usually located at Brady’s other facilities in Wisconsin, Utah, or Pennsylvania.
