Pros

Some of the Employees are really good people to work with.

Cons

*Bad Management. Management running departments and do not even know anything about the department they run. * No proper training * High stress environment * Higher expectations on certain employees with zero expectations for the Management and site leaders *Management over-paid because they don't even meet qualifications. *Designers train engineers how to read drawings but yet are treated like scum. *Engineers holding the title with no actual competency of engineering * Management yell and verbally abuse employees *Safety is always pushed but schedule dates trump doing things safely. They want it done as fast as possible and will cut all corners to meet the date. *Injuries occur almost daily * No one even acknowledges you when you walk down the hall * Everyone looks depressed daily * You never see anyone smile or appear happy to be working.

Right now the company is investing in our people. Employees are expressing their gratitude for being here and enjoying the development opportunities that exist and are continuing to be offered: manager training, leadership development, process improvement training, rotational development programs, and mentoring. Employees are working together across sites as OneAscend and making time to develop themselves, Better every day.

Cons

We believe in our Commitment to Zero safety philosophy, Yet, we struggle to hit our zero goal. I'd like to experience what zero feels like.
