Brother USA reviews

The company is having serious growing pains and identity issues as they find themselves boxed into the printer and sewing categories of womcumer electronics and not doing much in terms of finding new product categories. Coupled with the shift from big box retailers to online .com resellers. They have replaced their entire HR staff which is outnofntouch with the history and DNA of the company while there is serious cronyism among the new HR staff. Add to that, their old brothers club board of directors can't be touched and there are major conflicts of interest as some maintain multiple job titles across divisions. Some senior executives get away with making sexist remarks, offensive jokes, downright belittling some of their employees while that same executive enforces rules on others that aren't followed themselves. All in all as long as you make said executive look good and allow all your work flow through them you will be taken care of and compensated for your work. And at times be reminded how well you are compensated. The company is in the process of catching up with the 21st century as far as best practices and technology that employees need to be productive like many other companies enjoy and have enjoyed for some time. Upper management has a very bottom up approach to change meaning there is very little change being sponsored from the top brass albeit they talk alot about how they aspire to drive more change delm the top down but do very little to actually listen to the employees about what changes are truly needed. Much of the change being sponsored by upper management is too little and too late especially for a company who takes very long to implement things in general. As a result, while HR speaks of recruiting top talent, much of the top employees are leaving the company or have left already leaving a large gap in terms of succession planning and 'passing the torch' to keep things fluid.

This a company managed by old people for old people that are set in their ways and resistant to change. The company is making so called changes but these changes are being felt more by the lower level employees while the senior management continues to stay in their cushy jobs. They refuse to encourage the young and dynamic workforce. Instead their potential is wasted on menial tasks at a time when they should be learning new skill sets. There is absolutely no opportunity to be creative or grow unless you are a yes man. They are finally starting to get some women in senior manager roles but none of the existing women employees have been empowered or encouraged to grow. The company lacks any diversity, in today's day and age this is hard to believe but it's a fact. The upper management has only white obnoxious men. Working here will only limit your career growth because you will be stuck doing the same thing under managers that hate their jobs and make you miserable. There is no trust within team members and there is no delegtation. Getting promoted after 5 years in the same job is considered normal and ambitious people loose their motivation over a period of time. Young people if any new ones that are hired are either related or friends with the bosses which in the long term creates an unfair work environment.
