Pros

CRT can, at times be a wonderful place to work. I have often left work possessing a feeling of accomplishment. It is easy to see the work you do as fulfilling and challenging. On the surface, CRT does everything right. You get treated like family. From the turkey at Thanksgiving and ham at Christmas to the picnics and all employee gatherings and the full health benefits and the opportunities to grow and advance, CRT can feel like the perfect place to work. Most of the people that you work with are dedicated employees that will work hard in order to make sure that the work that they produce and hand off to you is of the highest quality. Most of the managers (read people in charge) are competent and thoughtful individuals who care about the company and the people. It really is a family environment.

Cons

While what I said above is true, as in any company there are a few bad eggs in the group. You will work long hours and weekends (the company is very busy at this point, and there are no signs of that slowing down). There are a handful of people that are in charge of the company in various aspects that don't appear to hold anybody, especially employees, in very high regard. There is slight, but growing, distrust between employees and management. Some of this can be attributed to the rising stress levels due to the amount of work that needs to be done.

As we have responded previously, we’re excited about the growth that we’ve experienced most recently but also understand that growth does not come without its challenges. Getting to effective staffing numbers across the various areas of the business and insuring those employees have the proper knowledge and training is no small undertaking. We understand that the longer some of these openings remain the more stress it places on existing employees. Regarding the need to listen and act on employee advice and feedback, we hear you loud and clear and could not agree more. The truth is the larger an organization gets the more difficult it becomes to do this and we are almost double the size we were just a few years ago. It is for this reason precisely that major emphasis has been placed on internal communication and feedback forums across CRT this year. We’ve instituted monthly department meetings in every department, a new interactive maintenance request process, a new production change request process, etc. We believe these are necessary steps in closing the communication and feedback loop with employees.

Pros

The money is good If you get past the 90 days ((((IF!))))

Cons

I left a company I worked at for 20 years for a chance to advance. As they said in all there advertisement. When I started the on boarding process. and they told me Congratulations and welcome Aboard, I had the Impression that I was Hired this was when I left my old job. ( NOPE!) 90 Probation period I found this out after leaving my other Job. There is far to much Micromanagement in that place. Training may not go well for a number of reasons. But Rest assured It will all be your fault in the end. They canned me before 90 days were up. I cannot go back to my former job and I have no means of support now. They give you reviews and tell you the ball is in your court. But it never is. It is a High stress place I have seen people quit on there own in the less than 90 days I have been there. Some in charge are really good at reverse engineering fault when they tell you to get out, enough said on that issue. This job is 5% machining and 95% procedural paper work that you will never have seen before even if you have 30 years experience. If you cannot get it all and take notes the way they want you to, and understand what should take a year to understand in 90 days. you will not have a job. They ruined what life I had.

We’re truly sorry to hear of your experience as described. While we understand things will not work out in every situation, we never want to hear that someone has had such a bad experience. We are sure that transitioning to any new position after having worked somewhere for 20 years would be difficult. We also understand that the work we do at CRT is highly technical and often requires more inspections and more detailed documentation than found in standard manufacturing environments. However, this is for good reason; most of the components we repair are installed in commercial aircraft engines. Public safety has to be our first concern. In addition, many of these components cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. This is why we’ve created a tremendous amount of training for new hires that centers around our paperwork and quality control procedures. Regarding our probationary period, yes we are evaluating employees during their first few months as would any other company. We believe in honesty and transparency and our supervisors sit down with new hires weekly to review how their job performance meets our expectations, and to review their training plans to ensure new employees are receiving the resources necessary to succeed. We believe our greatest asset is our highly motivated and very talented work force. We are always looking at improvement opportunities with our training programs. We apologize that your experience at CRT was not ideal; this is never our intent. Unfortunately, CRT is not always a fit for everyone and we sincerely hope you find that right opportunity for you!
