Vallourec reviews

Management is strong in believing in top down management which results in employees that actually do the work being ignored. They talk about listening to employees thought process, recommendations and needs but they simply don't when it comes time for action. Extremely high turnover rate of mid and upper level management due to expat structure kills leadership roles and any company direction. Many of the expats seem to only be interested in making a splash that looks good rather than long term success. This kind of culture also fosters a glass ceiling for American employees who can see ways to improve the company’s product, efficiency and morale. When the time comes for any kind of management job Europeans always seem to be given preference which hurts the business.

No matter how hard you work, how early you show up, or how much you care when things go south you could get laid off or fired. I was fired and rehired into a different department. I now work 60 hours a week with one or two days off because of the swing shift. The bonuses are getting smaller and smaller. Overall morale is bad because management gives bad vibes with their attitudes and looks down on production workers. It’s a very political company and if you don’t know anybody high up you won’t stick around when layoffs come.
