Control Techniques - VERY POOR Work/Life Balance

Pros

Only real plus was the 401K match.

Cons

One would think that during COVID, communication would be ramped up, however, it's not the case here. For example, managers weren't allowed to tell their direct reports that they'd been given merit increases. In addition, this company has very poor customer service because they don't have adequate staff to respond to customers, a constant, aggravating complaint. What became concerning was all of the top level executives resigning from the company in the short time that I worked there. This company cares little for the grinding hours worked. There's NO recognition, just the expectation that the work needs to get done. Also be weary as this company has a tendency to hire people and then turn around and outsource their position right out from under them.

Pros

Insurance plan was ok. 401k plan was good.

Cons

Poor structure, growth, and training plans at facility and corporate level. Poor budget planning and outlook at facility and corporate level. Poor “buddy” system hiring schemes, leading to incompetent personnel. Poor moral character of all levels. One of lowest pay companies in the area, which is saying something. The plant is not within 60miles of a town with over 10,000 people, yet the facility was still one of the lowest paying companies in the region. Worst company moral of any company ever seen, people are begging to go to other jobs if they were only available. Some are driving over an hour one way to get a new job. Poor trust of company directives, benefit plans, and future outlook of pay raises. Poor outlook for hiring talented personnel to replace retiring personnel. Poor sales, designs, and manufacturing capabilities. Stressful work environment requiring long hours not justified by pay or even appreciation. Overall it is simply an atrocious place to work.
