The Company Lures In Passionate Employees with Interesting Projects and then Treats them Poorly

Development engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Some interesting programs Young, passionate, well educated Employees Casual Work Atmosphere Nice Facilities Allow employees to use facilities to work on personal vehicles

Cons

Uncompetitive Pay Pathetic 401(k) Company lies to new hires, guaranteeing pay raise after 90 days Performance reviews not delivered in timely matter, if at all Pay raises not merit based, usually only awarded when employee gets offer at other company Disrespectful supervisor conduct ignored by management Long hours well beyond typical time commitment expected for engineers Often asked to perform unsafe maneuvers on road, but will likely lose job if employee gets more than 4 points on their license because company insurance won't insure them Lure employees in with attractive projects, then switch them to unappealing projects (Natural gas powered vans, school buses, construction equipment, etc) Largely thank-less work environment VERY Poor morale within the company due to issues aforementioned

Pros

They are going to throw you in the deep end of the pool when you start - this makes it a great place to get experience as you're going to get exposed to a lot very quickly. The work can be challenging and interesteing at times. Health insurance benefits were pretty good.

Cons

Roush has a real culture problem especially with regards to retaining new talent, primarily because Jack Roush is notoriously cheap (so low salaries) and that cheapness now exists at almost every level of the company. The working environment is not great and can be hostile at times.

Pros

Good place to gain experience then leave quickly.

Cons

Management top heavy. Evan Lyall likes to cut employees to save the company budget. Lots of layoffs then hire back with low salaries. Saw a lot of good people cut right before holidays every year. Favoritism and nepotism is practiced within departments. When this practice was mentioned to HR, things got ugly. Left quickly, never looked back.

Roush Industries Response

9y

Our management structure is not top heavy and is consistent with the needs of a nimble, service oriented company. Each department determines staffing levels based on business needs, not the CEO. Contract staff is used to manage fluctuations based on customer needs. Salaries are determined based on job duties, skills, experience, and education required. Roush’s practice is to create a work environment that is interesting, rewarding and mutually beneficial. We do have an open door policy and encourage our employees to have honest conversations with their manager or department head. HR investigates all allegations brought to our attention with a commitment to resolving issues fairly.
