Pros

Overtime hours available always if needed. Can always get job title promotions. Benefits are good.

Cons

AP Mgr. makes ridiculous deadline promises to internal clients on behalf of his staff without communication or a heads up. AP Mgr. loves to live in fire drill mode all the time-disorganized loading crazy amounts of work on people causing low producticity & chaos. Instead of listening to the warnings of his staff that perform the job everyday, the AP Mgr. would rather perform certain functions incorrectly knowing it may be wrong just to be right and in control.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We appreciate hearing about your personal experience and are pleased to learn that you enjoy the overtime hours, promotion opportunities, and benefits. We recognize that there have been increases in the volume of work, and as a result have reorganized the department to have the flexibility to size-up for business growth. This should allow for more accountability, focus, and assist in areas where needed to support the business requirements and meet SLA deadlines. We strive to provide an environment where employees feel valued, treated fairly and respected. This begins with our managers, which is why we recently invested in sending all the managers within the department to leadership training. We encourage employees to take advantage of the open door environment and voice concerns to their respective manager and director. I’d be happy to discuss any other feedback you may have. Please email us at careers@lehighhanson.com.
