Ducommun reviews

Very little accountability - if issues are addressed, it's done as a group and not with the individual. Handful of employees are relied upon for high output while quite a few employees have very low output. Compensation for high output and low output employees are the same. Micro-Managed - Very little input or communication from Management until issue arises or deadline is near. Work Load - Company stance is to cut back staff and force remaining staff to work longer hours. 12 hr days are not uncommon and 16 are not unheard of. They have no problem with employees bring their children in so the employee may continue to work. Expectations of work loads are unreasonable. PTO - You have Paid Time Off but have a difficult time being able to actually take it. They strongly stress what an inopportune time it is take time off...everytime you take off. Job Expectations - Are poorly/loosely defined. They change regulary depending on which department/person is currently not meeting their responsibilities. The Contracts Department in general seems to be the dumping ground for work that is deemed beneath other departments. With the addtional work load comes no relief from prior duties. Company Policy - Is applied inconsistently depending on the department and manager. There is no formal complaint system for/to HR. Emails and phone calls go unanswered and issues go unaddressed. Issues of workplace harrassement/bullying are common.

- Upper management hides behind controlled access doors that only they can open. Other corporate employees do not have access to their "special" area of the facility. - There is no formal system in place to voice complaints to Human Resources department. - The following are specific to my department: - Asking a question to a co-worker is not allowed, if you have a question about anything you must ask the manager directly. - Using the restroom is frowned upon and raises the suspicion of the department head. - It is strongly encouraged and implied that you can eat lunch at your desk..... hint hint - Taking a quick break to grab a coffee with your co-worker is unacceptable to dept head - Having a quick conversation with your co-worker about how their day is going is frowned upon - Taking PTO during the holiday season is not allowed - The workload is unrealistic and it is expected that you will stay in until 7PM every day.
