Milgard Manufacturing reviews

Long hours at first for salaried employees.

Due to decisions made by management; some still employed, others have been let go or quit, our parent company has started mandating certain changes be made; some for the better, some worse, some uncertain at present. The most recent change to a tiered pay system that categorizes employees by their position is completely screwed up. Positions that require a certain skill set is put into the same tier as someone who cleans windows; and someone who literally loads a file into a program and is told what to do from there by the computer is grouped with people of a higher skill set and/or have extensive knowledge in what they do from years of employment with the company. While each tier has a cap, completely expected, this also leaves those who are not at the cap under of any raises they MIGHT get on a yearly basis IF allowed by the parent company. The kicker, and the reason for a lot of disappointed, frustration, and anger is that those who are maxed out on the tier they were placed in will never see a raise. This will most likely lead to a lot of turnover in the coming months by those who have the knowledge needed to train the new employees.
