Terrible leadership in the management team!
Pros
It's full time work. Nice equipment to work with.
Cons
Overtime is required. Usually the Saturday you have plans. The manager gives you lots of responsibility because he leaves work everyday to play golf. You are given unreachable goals to obtain with no help from the management team. Your schedule changes every time you work. There's no end time on your day. They want you to clock in, work until you get the orders complete but they don't stop coming in. It's a "sweat shop" to push out frames with little to no concern over the quality. Jobs continue to come back to be redone because people aren't doing the final inspection. They just check them off. For years I've watched one bad leader leave and another take over. I thought this one would be different but, he made it clear he's only there to drive us to hit "quotas" and go golf, fish or whatever (He seriously said it during a morning meeting). He takes all the credit for our long days and he shoves off each day. To be frank, we get more done when he's not there to send his minions out to give us direction he doesn't have the ability to assign. Each day he sends one to my station to tell me to stay another hour... Another hour. If I refuse, I pay for it by showing me attitude, arrogance and shunning me for days or weeks. The sad part is, I've liked working there for so long, this new manager makes me want to look somewhere else but I don't want to give up what I've earned. I put up with so much to get to this point.
