Pros

You came home ever night.

Cons

Work you 15-16 hrs a day and the next day they would let you off to loose your overtime. Mgmt. was terrible. I worked a little over 10 years with no advancement and no recognition of the job I did.

Pros

Great people. I think the thing I miss most are my co-workers.

Cons

Management. Upper Management in Australia not in tune with the issues happening in the US. The new structure doesn't work and they are doing their best to force a square peg into a round hole. When I started with Orica - it had a great culture. Employee focused and a desire to develop internal talent. That focus was lost ... changes being made to save money were to the detriment of the employees and to the business. Ability to manage was stripped from the Managers and certain departments were becoming the focus of everyone's frustration and dislike for the new structure, procedures, etc.

Pros

Health benefits keep employees at Columbus/Hallowell site from quitting! New manager may change things but many doubt it! Waiting to see, too early to tell!

Cons

You have people that do nothing but watch others work. They are not supervisors or managers. They get away with it! Too many self proclaimed bosses at Columbus, Kansas area site. New employees receive only 12 dollars per hour! Pay raise not for 16 months. 34 cents added pay raise. Treated like dirt at Columbus Kansas site! Called names, talked down to! Screamed at! No training! No SOPs to go by! Employees language is horrible. Employees refer to women in derogatory names! Not just shop talk, horrible atmosphere! Stay away!
