Where do I start...
1. Not allowed to make your own decision. Always need approval to do your job. If approval is denied bet your rear end you will still get blamed if something goes wrong.
2. Upper management is horrible, no backbone against owner. People in positions that have no business being there and only are awarded the position because they are "yes" people.
3. High tension company. Owner likes to have departments arguing. For example... will have a meeting with the sales dept and will give them guidelines to follow but will not let everyone in the other departments know. So for them its business as usual. So then its nightmare on elm street between the departments.
4. Sales can do no wrong. Owner will jump down mfg department when sales are down. Never to the sales dept.
5. Upper management does not include facility managers in any decision made to outlining facilities.
6. Used to be a family company but now just a money hungry company. Top out at 3 weeks vacation, only get 6 holidays and one of those holidays you are stuck working inventory.
7. No annual review, no pay raise. No praise what so ever. You will learn no news is good news.
8. If someone does something wrong the whole company pays for it. If someone orders too much then the whole company has to get approval to purchase anything. If a salesman goes overboard on their credit card, the whole company has to get approval to purchase anything.
9. Last but not definitely least. Don't trust anyone!!!
