Pros
The regular people who work so hard to keep this place afloat.
Cons
FARO’s the worst. Senior management is terrible. The CEO Simon Raab, CFO Bob Seidel and COO Kathleen Hall don’t have the business skills to manage FARO and think that threatening people is good management. The three constantly push business initiatives out with unrealistic deadlines and no resources to complete the initiatives. Everyone’s supposed to do more with less. For the last year the workforce is pushed beyond its limits with no reward for their hard work. FARO is managed by terror and Simon, Bob and Kathleen think that fear is a motivator. The competent employees are leaving the company in masses, especially in R&D, leaving us with bad products to sell. Sales is the only department that is growing. And still the company can’t even pay commissions correctly. Sales people are shorted all the time. Work hours are long. There’s no time for family. Sales is pushed to do more and more cold calls. There’s just pressure and fear.
