Pros

Travel.. that's it.. and even that sucks.. bad hotels... don't do it

Cons

At least 90% of the company is racist especially on main line grinding. Leadership would throw you under the bus in a heart beat.

Discrimination in any form is not tolerated at Loram. All employees have access to our 24 hour toll free WeCARE hotline, where they may speak with a live company representative and register complaints, or secure information and resources about how to deal with situations that may occur. I encourage every employee to utilize this service. If such a situation is occurring, we need to know about it, so we can implement corrective action immediately!

Pros

They pay for your travel and lodging, but then again if they didn't they would almost have to double their sub standard wages. Good 401k. it's a job. If you have a iron or electrolyte deficiency this job is a great source of both.

Cons

Traveling is nice but you never get time to actually see anything, so I don't count it as a pro. You're not even guaranteed a day off, outside of laundry or food you cannot use the trucks to do anything unless if its right down the street. A hourly op 2 makes more then most salary positions at $14-$16 if you have a normal work week since they get overtime, and they don't even get per Diem. My suggestion is to max out at a op 2 or clerk and don't go any further, it's not worth the hassle. They hire anyone off the street, i know what the requirements are for the job but that doesn't mean that they are followed. If you have a family this is defiantly not a job for you, unless if you only want to see them 3 months out of the year that is.

Pros

Pay is alright. The 401k is very good.

Cons

This company is behind the times in technology. They survive because they don't have competition in the market. Pay and promotions are completely based on seniority and not merit. There is very little positive reinforcement. Supervisors often resort to insults and yelling to motivate employees. They constantly hire unskilled labor and then wonder why projects go over budget and time. Once they're finished with projects, then come the layoffs. They have training, but zero job specific training for you. They won't teach you how to use a screwdriver or a wrench, but they'll inform you how many genders there are. Working hard and working smart do not pay off. If you're good at your job, they'll just keep heaping more work onto you. This may not be a con to everyone, but they have mandatory 50 hour work weeks when they're behind on projects. They're almost always behind on projects. It gets old.

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. While we're glad you find the pay and 401k offerings satisfactory, it's clear that there are areas we need to improve. We recognize the importance of staying current with technology and appreciate your feedback regarding our current state. Your concerns about the promotion process, management style, and the effectiveness of our training programs are noted. We understand that these aspects can significantly impact your experience at the company. It's especially concerning to hear about negative management practices and the lack of positive reinforcement. These are issues we take seriously, as they directly affect the workplace culture and employee morale. We also hear your concerns about the workload and the strain of mandatory overtime. Balancing project demands with a healthy work-life balance is crucial, and your feedback will help us reevaluate how we manage workloads. Your input is invaluable as we strive to make necessary improvements. We’re committed to addressing these concerns and working towards creating a more supportive and rewarding environment for all employees. Thank you for helping us identify where we need to do better.
