Taylor Corporation reviews

Review system designed to keep reviews mediocre. Pay will almost never go up, and if it does, it'll go up 2%. Even with a promotion, it'll go up 2% at best. Only people I know who got paid well had left and been poached back after making real money somewhere else. The work is seasonal, so if you're a full-time employee, expect to work 40-hour weeks in the off-season, and mandatory overtime for months at a time during the busy times (including all of December). Saturdays and Sundays will be common. There is literally zero sharing of information from high management to the lower employees. Expect a quarterly statement from the owner (Glen Taylor), but it won't give any specific info, just rah-rah stuff and some reminiscing about the good old days. The company is primarily in printing stuff on paper--It's not what you'd call a "growth industry".

It was a huge challenge not to quit, but I am tough. I am an optimist and not a quitter. Otherwise I could never have survived my years there. Things always got worse - never better. It's hard to imagine a company that treats its employees so badly. Every middle-manager and supervisor I encountered was totally inept, utterly clueless, dismally lacking in people skills, and completely lacking common sense. I have to conclude that the reason for this is found near the top of the organization.
