Stressed out management on the production side
Company plans to invest in equipment then assigns the expenditure management to offsite corporate management who are incentivized by bonuses not to spend. Results in health, safety, quality, and throughput issues.
Trade compliance violations swept under the rug
Toxic odorless gasses vented back into work area and not outside
Safety is all about what you can see and not reality
Customer satisfaction is less important than submitting invoices, they will ship known bad product this quarter and RMA it next quarter so they can bump quarterly numbers.
Have an ISO9001 process. Do everything in their power not to follow it because it slows things down.
Perpetually understaffed in the quality department, unwilling to allocate the QA manager the budget to hire or tool sufficiently.
Everything is always urgent, there is no time during the year during which there isn't a production panic.
Even with stellar reviews, wage increases barely track inflation.
Benefits were progressively pared down making them less competitive.
Not friendly to FMLA, will approve then let you go.
The business unit made most of the profit for the Celera Motion family, yet the CEO berated us for their overall low profits, seeing the motors unit as the way to prop up the struggling business units she managed more than 2 days a year.
No communication to local managers about 'layoffs', simply send corporate HR officer to perform layoffs under the radar, crippling whole departments. No reasoning given, record profits and growth = layoffs somehow. Local managers totally shocked.
