Pros

Floor employees were nice to work with and helpful. Fair wage and benefits and good referral program but that is really it. Occasional free lunch as a means of bribery.

Cons

Everything else is a con. I was hired into a specific role; and they had me do everything but what I was hired for. I tried to speak with management but they basically lied as they do to all and made up some story. Safety is a joke and quality suffers as a result. They have no clue what an engineer or someone in purchasing actually does. Management are all puppets and from the top on down the place is poorly run. Support staff is powerless to try and improve things and are rendered useless. Working here is like working in a Russian plant I would imagine. My advice is to look elsewhere unless you want to look for another job in 2 months or less or like being told what you can do and when you can do it.

Pros

There was a small percentage of people who were taken care of and had advancement in their career and pay.

Cons

I witnessed a woman fired the day before leaving for maternity leave. A huge order was so far behind schedule that the CEO pulled people from their office jobs such as IT, Payroll, and Middle management for weeks to work in production opening crates, sorting products, sandblasting, packaging the products, and loading them back into crates. When this large task was completed Upper management had to convince the CEO to at least write a letter thanking everyone who went way beyond their job. One person was caught doing drugs in the bathroom. So they enforced a sign-out policy to leave your work area and had grown adults asking to take a bathroom break. Incentives were slowly stripped away until they were gone completely. 1. Christmas time meal was replaced with birthday/anniversary lunch, which was then stopped. 2. Saftey hour became harder to achieve until they eventually took it away completely. 3. You used to be able to have an earbud in to listen to music within your work area, but they stopped that as well. In my opinion, working hard and going above and beyond was not rewarded but only taken advantage of and used against you when things went wrong.

Thanks for your review of your time with F+S. As you were a tenured employee with us for quite some time I would assume that there had to be many other positives as well (pay, benefits, Careertrak, etc) to keep you employed here for so long. To address some of your points...yes the XMAS event was replaced by a MONTHLY birthday/anniversary event. This was stopped due to COVID and not for any other reason. We of course still give out the gift cards to each individual for their anniversary recognition. Safety incentives of varied types are still given as well as our Employee of the Month awards. Earbuds present a safety hazard in a manufacturing setting thus due to some safety issues this was eliminated. Music (radio) is still present in work areas if so desired. We had one big project (the biggest in company history) that required all departments to chip in for the company's benefit. Most had to work 2-3 weekend days and free lunch and good camaraderie were provided during this timeframe. Once the project was completed successfully and on schedule not only were thank you letters supplied to all who participated but extra PTO days and other bonuses were provided as well to each employee. Also, a "Happy Hour" for employees was also held after this project ended. Lastly, during my time here, I can assure you that no employee has ever been let go because they were pregnant or due to upcoming maternity leave. All the best with your future endeavors.
