Pros

Flexible hours, the pay is kind of competitive, always working on something new

Cons

Management in the design engineering group changes every 9-6 months. The entire Ogden plant blames design engineering for not hitting deadlines. The company is very stuck in its ways and refuses to embrace new 3D modeling technology. There are rumors that the current manager is going to be laid off even though they have done a great job but just doesn't fit with the politics of the company. Upper management makes decisions without asking for employee input, which then sabotages productivity, then gets upset when we don't meet deadlines

Our team appreciates you taking the time to write out your feedback and concerns regarding the internal alignments we have made over the past several months. As an organization, we aim to be as transparent as possible about the changes made within the business, so our teams feel prepared, aligned, and supported. We encourage you to contact your local Human Resources team for further conversations so we can support you in the best way possible while giving you space to share feedback constructively.

Pros

Just a little over 100 employees, so scheduling is high flexible including PTO (depending on your manager). No micromanagement, so you get to work freely and at your own pace.

Cons

Lack of accountability. If you find something wrong/broken you'll be expected to fix it because no one else will. Hard workers are rewarded with additional work- and there is always plenty of that because there are no consequences to those that don't work or do the right thing. Management is totally out of touch with floor employees, nor care about what's going on until its the end of the month and THEIR bonuses are on the line. No advancement unless someone in a higher position quits or gets fired. Problematic employees are not corrected. Management lets issues continue until someone leaves on their own will. NO real incentive to work here. It's a dead end job, but good for those new to the workforce and those returning after a long break. Acrrue only 10 hours of PTO per month.
