Great at poor management

Pros

Pay can be good if they actually follow their raise schedule. Full benefit package is attractive. There are bonuses available yet the payout from these have decreased over the years.

Cons

Poor safety records. Inability to properly hire enough staff and retain them leading to necessary overtime over long period (sometimes over a year) and consuming your life. They have gutted some of their bonus programs so that they barely payout. HR promotes a toxic environment and enforce programs (i.e. paid family medical leave, worker's comp, dismemberment insurance, etc) in convoluted ways that is detrimental to your family life. They say they promote a family culture but they seem to only want company yes-men. Many recent decisions seem to have had a net negative impact on operations and moral.

Pros

Charter offers great benefits Great mix of younger and more senior employees, very diverse

Cons

At times it seems like the office is disconnected from the production employees. HR and management do a great job trying to bring everyone together through company-wide gatherings. If you go out of your way to talk to others, everyone is welcoming!

Pros

Pay is fair after you put the time in.

Cons

Extremely dangerous environment made worse by upper management not caring at all about the safety of its most active employees. Some employees get no breaks throughout their shift due to dangerously high inventory levels and poorly set up scheduling. Very little quality training due to a lack of care given to the billet yard. The employees do the best they can but upper management does not recognize this area as a place of high regard. As a manager once told me, “They don’t make the company money so they don’t matter.”
