Pros

Seeing a few friendly faces & earning a paycheck.

Cons

Strange Management! I work for an individual that has clearly never been a manager, has no leadership skills, provides pacifistic responses to escalations in need of attention, makes excuses instead of resolving problems, displays unprofessional juvenile behavior, gets angry when honest feedback is provided, gossips, responds to employee questions with “I don’t know,” is not a person of their word, consistently lies with a straight face & argues that conversations have transpired when in fact they have never taken place. There seems to be questionable Management at all levels of this company & they appear to have their eyes wide shut towards their own behavior & actions or lack there of in most cases.

Hi, this is Linda Farr, VP of HR for Straumann North America. As part of the Cultural Journey, our organization’s endeavor to create a high performance culture through every employee’s expression of our core behaviors, we are moving to a more transparent approach where we can be honest with each other in a respectful, professional manner. Clearly, this is not what you are experiencing. We advocate for a player/learner mentality versus a victim/knower mindset; so if something isn’t going well, we encourage you to speak with someone about it. I can’t help you through an anonymous post on Glassdoor, but we can find meaningful resolution if we sit down over coffee. I personally invite you for a discussion to provide you with some HR support. You may also be able to guide me in ways that will help your manager with the goal of continually improving our interpersonal interactions. Please contact me at 978-747-2708 or via eMail at your earliest convenience. Kind regards Linda --- Linda Farr VP Human Resources Straumann North America

Pros

The new management can’t follow their own new rules. They change everything to fit their own narrative. If they don’t like what you are wearing, they will turn around and change the policy to be what they want , an example is dress code change. The new continuous improvement excellence manager thinks sh is in charge of the entire manufacturing floor. Instead of going to the manufacturing management she feels it’s necessary to go directly to employees who work on the floor and speak to them about what she doesn’t like. She knows nothing about working in a machine shop and makes up safety rules that don’t even apply. It’s overkill. Psychological safety is at risk as she and the new site manager do not welcome your thoughts or concerns it’s their way or no way. This is definitely a different company now and the culture went from goo to toxic.

Cons

Culture, pay, and OT payments not paid when holiday or using your vacation time sick time.
