Great co-workers, deaf higher ups

Business Outlook

Pros

Generally once you get broken in to working at a glass factory you find that most of your co-workers are every bit of a workplace family that you could ask for. Everybody keeps an eye out for each other, and without it I think this plant would fail.

Cons

To the higher ups and managers, we're just working flesh bags. Requests and complaints fall to deaf ears and employees are always on edge around production and plant managers.

very disappointed and very dissatisfied

Production tech

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The locallity and compensation for this area. Also the float time and vacation hours recieved at the beginning of each year. The recognition each employee recieves for their efforts in working safely. The recognition for time of service as an employee at Cardinal and time of service in the Military. The awards granted for working safely without personal injuries.

Cons

The idea of mandatory overtime is ridiculous. I personally treasure my time away from the workplace. I do not wish to be there until it is time for me to return. Recently I have noticed that unspoken changes are occurring concerning duties to be carried out by employees. We are expected to perform the same duties working shorthanded, shuffling people around to do jobs that can wait for a better day.Fulltime employees are feeling the air of being forced out to make way for parttime employees so the company does'nt have to pay fulltime wages, vacation benefits, and medical benefits. The ridiculous ways that management is bending over backwards to try and win over customers that employees know good and well is not going to work.
