Quality is a Joke!

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

People are optimistic and gung hoe until they finally become discouraged and mentally check-out!

Cons

Too much work; with NO extra headcount, long hours, no recognition; NO HOPE. Lack of interest in benefits. Doing away with health care - really scarring away good people. Management doesn't have a clue of what is going on. There are 2 classes of people there; those who are 0-2 or 3 yrs max; or those that have been there forever.... Once people get experience under their belt; they are gone, they know this isn't a great place to work - long term. You've got to be crazy to stay there for more than 2 years.

Pros

Good people to work with, good technology and amount of work comming through.

Cons

No investment to develop company further. No long term plans, everything rushed last minute, No resources. Never even dream of bonus or development opportunity. Company can't even spend £150 for training. Very very disappointed.

Business Outlook

Pros

Work with some great people including managers and supervisors. Has a real great family feel to the workday. Growing company with new jobs being added frequently and promotion possibilities. Great time to be working here!

Cons

Pay is seems a little on the lower range compared to similar jobs and the benefits recently took a hit in the health care side like most companies. Prepare for some tough negotiating!
