Plug Power reviews

- Production work is very repetitive - Cross-training only happens once production goals are met & the right people agree to it, so can feel stuck and bored for many months - My Lean Manufacturing experience was praised during the interview, but have had little to no opportunities to practice it (they have a different role handle work process improvements, and don't seem interested to hear the suggestions of anyone else/the people working said processes) - Parts of the work area are in bad condition, the promised improvements have yet to be seen after 9+ months (ex: new outlet close enough to work device to avoid daisy-chaining power strips, enough outlets to power all the work devices that avoids blowing the circuit, broken wood holding up the work device above the floor has yet to be replaced) - Communication between day/night shifts seems to be broken/somewhat dysfunctional (decisions made on one shift are disagreed with/reversed on another, leading to a waste of time & energy as "good"/"bad" parts are moved back and fort to different areas)

They're not interested in being fiscally responsible, yet can't make a profit (the culture seems to step over a dollar to pick up a nickel). Mid-level Leadership doesn't communicate between departments. Entry management is good (in my experence). They're a 20 year old company that wants to behave like a startup. Oh, and insurance sucks too.
