I work for the coleman segment.
Bad weather hurt camping this year.
They started upgrading to SAP inventory/data management software whcih caused some bumpes. The employees were working a ton of overtime before management had to do a temporary layoff (still paid benefits) when they realized they had too much inventory. According to management, we averaged around 70% on-time deliveries. They expect the SAP system to help us reach the mid 90% and help us better manage overtime pay. 96% was reached in november.
High insider ownership, diversified portfolio of well managed companies, near it's 52 wk low.
I get a 15% discount for working there. My only complaint is the higher than normal debt.
