Very dissapointing! - Anonymous employee Minerals Technologies Employee Review

The entire focus of the company is on Operational Excellence, 5S, Kaizens, just to list a few, which leaves little time for actual work. I understand the importance to a point but this is overboard. I worked for the previous company Amcol prior to the MTI buyout. Amcol was an awesome company that stood for something and was a company that had ethics. You no longer feel like a person but a number. They don't pay bills on time, net 90+. Safety is subpar. There is no open, transparent, two way communications as preached by the company. The values are good on paper but that is as far as they go. No growth, buy good successful companies and bleed them dry!
