Continental Battery Systems Response

Thank you for your input. I must confess that I am a little surprised to see a comment noted as being from a former sales manager in the Bay Area in January of 2016, as that position has been filled since May of 2015. However I do appreciate the vote of confidence that there is a market for ten times the profit in the Bay; I agree! There are definitely growth opportunities. Regarding your comment that bad management hurts good companies, I can also agree with you. I thank you for the intoning that Battery Systems is a good company and that you had a negative experience with a local manager. Continuous improvement is required at every place of business, some companies embrace this; some don’t. For us, continuous improvement is a value that is an imperative, and we want it to be outwardly visible. I am sorry that your experience was less than you expected while you were with us, and I hope that you have found your perfect match in a new employer. Todd Scott Director of HR

Pros

Strict no overtime policy resulted in consistent work schedules and work life balance. Gained valuable skills and maintained inventory accuracy with the WMS. Developed strong attention to detail due to the high accuracy needed for the job.

Cons

Denied combined cost of living and performance increase based on a single day of lateness, resulting in a corrective action report. Company handbook specifies that any corrective action prevents receiving either increase. Disconnected corporate structure and poor communication from main office. Branch mostly left unsupervised but held to unclear standards without training. High turnover due to management unwilling to pay living wage, causing difficulty hiring and retaining staff, especially in higher cost areas. Company focus on short-term 'resilience training' shifts the burden of burnout to employees, rather than addressing systemic issues like unlivable wages and profit-driven management practices.
