Pros

The people working in the areas are good, and want to do their jobs well. Lots of mid level managers that want to do good things but thwarted on the regular by nitwits in upper management.

Cons

Everything from site leadership and up. There’s a cadre of people that think they are leaders but have no clue what that really means. The sites have continued to operate to this point in spite of company leadership, not because of it. HR organization is focused on work-ness and has no clue what the company is really supposed to be doing. Most toxic work environment you can imagine

Can I give negative stars?

Pros

Only good reason are a bunch of nice hardworking operators and maybe some of the engineers.

Cons

The management sucks. I don't know if middle management is powerless or just feign incompetence but they're incapable of handling things. Career Progression is a joke. You never quite leave your previous job and you can move to another plant and still be called in to help for a previous role. HR is also awful- they have decided to take a ostrich approach to everyone leaving. I think this company is a one person monarchy and is run by the CEO without any inputs from anyone. Last I heard they had fired the Senior VP for Operations and one of the plant managers

Tries but misses the mark

Pros

There are a few good people who work for the organization that want to do the right thing. Pay is decent depending on your position.

Cons

Senior Leadership team micromanages way too much and fosters a negative work environment. They don't seem to trust employees who know what they are doing to make decisions without the complete buy in of the senior leadership team (takes months to get their buy in). There is a constant blame culture when things go wrong. This directly influences the negative Employee/Company relationship. They say their greatest asset are their employees but I see little evidence that supports this, including benefits. All about the shareholder value which instills a mentality that as little money as possible should be spent on improving the work environment and processes. Archaic systems, I have never relied so heavily on Excel spreadsheets as much as with this company. Technology wise they are 10-20 years behind if not more.
