Pros

The only good thing about tolmar are the benefits, like paid birthday off.

Cons

Little to no training -> Absolutely no training matrix to follow, just fly by the seat of your pants Very volatile work environment Much like being in a middle school and gossip is taken as true no matter what Supervisors and managers discriminate and play favorites Nothing is done to change the discrimination even if you report it Too many chiefs HR does not care about employees, they will help the managers retaliate against you when you report discrimination I actually have a lawyer and am getting ready to sue this company because I have more than enough evidence to win. Including managers admitting on audio recording that they discriminated against me, then retaliated against me with a completely fabricated write up when I asked them to stop.

We are sorry to hear that you feel that any actions have occurred that are discriminatory in nature. Tolmar takes a strong stance against any type of discrimination in the workplace, and accordingly, we have a well-communicated process to report anything of concern. All reports of potentially discriminatory behavior are investigated immediately and thoroughly. Unfortunately, if this behavior has not been reported, we are unable to address it directly. It appears that you are a current employee, so we encourage you to utilize the process that is available to you in order to elevate your concern to HR or any member of management so that it can be investigated. We are also in the process of continually improving our training methods and processes in all departments and implementing technical and procedural advancements on a regular basis. We welcome any direct and specific feedback that you have regarding your individual experience and challenges with our training program in order to incorporate it into our ongoing training development efforts. Finally, all corrective actions are fully substantiated and vetted prior to being delivered. As mentioned above, if you feel that you are being held accountable for something that did not occur, please provide specifics so that we can better understand the discrepancy. We value all of our employees and place the ultimate importance on fairness and consistency. We encourage direct feedback and are confident in our abilities to investigate and respond appropriately, but are unable to do so without specifics. We would appreciate the opportunity to hear more about this situation so that we can move forward with resolution.

Pros

Stellar benes. Best retirement/time off compensation.

Cons

Where to begin.... upon reading reviews back several years, its frustrating to see that nothing has changed. Supervisors and middle mgmt are the worst part but this place has some other serious problems: many do not like their job, morale is low, nobody trusts mgmt or HR, general manufacturing are looked down on by the rest of the departments, young men are more highly valued than women, poor behavior is unchecked if you are a favorite, you are held to different rules and standards if not, if you talk to mgmt or HR about issues it will reflect poorly on you and inevitably come back to haunt you, criteria for promotions and raises changes from person to person and depends predominantly on how much the sups like you, the constant restructuring is counterproductive, turnover is astoundingly high as is the criteria for entry level hiring, this makes staffing difficult so they can barely keep up with production creating a demand for involuntary OT, the equipment is ancient and barely works, no perks or incentives, did i mention favoritism..... people are fired regularly for questionable reasons if they don't like you, where as you can get away with murder if you are lucky enough to be chummy with mgmt, written disciplinary actions are used as excuses to not promote or give raises for some, but are mysteriously overlooked for others. Lack of accountability for sups/mgmt/HR = broken work environment and resentment.

Thank you for sharing your feedback - we are disheartened to hear that you feel this way. We hope that since you are a current employee, you will utilize our open door policy and discuss these concerns with us offline in order for us to review your concerns, and if necessary, enact change. We believe that effective two-way communication is fundamental to our success. Inevitably during the course of operations there will be misunderstandings that occur whether it be directive received from a supervisor or something you may have personally experienced or observed. If you believe that you are being held to different rules and standards than yourpeers, please let us know so that we can investigate these concerns. Additionally, our company policies protect all of our employees from retaliation of any kind. If you believe you are being retaliated against for a good faith complaint that you made, please let us know so that we can investigate the situation and take any necessary action. We absolutely do not condone favoritism and place equal value on all employees regardless of gender. Promotions and pay raises are based on skills and merit and these decisions are made without bias. When making these decisions we take into account past performance which includes the review of recent disciplinary action. Consistent with our policy on merit increases, promotion and merit increase decisions for employees with recent corrective actions are made on a case-by-case basis. When making these decisions we review the severity, frequency and nature of the performance issue and also take into account whether or not performance has improved. Terminating employees without cause is not an accepted practice and we work closely with Managers and Supervisors to set clear expectations for all employees so that they may continue to be successfully employed. We take terminations seriously and do not take ending the means of someone’s livelihood lightly. If you see employees who are violating policies and/or procedures without reprimand, please let us know. Thank you again for your feedback and we do encourage you to speak directly in person about these concerns.

Pros

The benefits are solid. They have some great employees who work here, although everyone is unhappy. Company holiday party is a good time.

Cons

Management is pathetic, HR does whatever they want with no consequences. They enforce mandatory overtime with no additional pay because they can't get anyone hired.
