Sr leaders pat themselves on the back, while associates struggle

Associate

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Has good benefits and competitive pay. Good established principles (not always followed now)

Cons

Used to be principled. Sr. Managers now blind to mid manager deficiencies. People join companies, leave managers. Watch for many leaving in the near future. Sr. Leaders are disconnected to the associate base. That used to be a strength - now a huge weakness. Only listening to news they want to hear. Very sad.

Pros

Fellow associates on shop floor Days off

Cons

Terrible management especially the new ones who seen to have no empathy or common sense! Underpaid! Terrible atmosphere and associates very disengaged! Divide between office and shop floor is massive almost like a separate entity! The five principles would be an amazing concept if they were used in the way they should be

Pros

Flexible schedule good compensations Nice and young people

Cons

job inestability (they can dismiss you any time they want) but that´s part of having young people in the office. Factory locations are the worst It´s more about the favorite people of the boss who gets promotion.
