Good Benefits, Bad Environment

Recommend

Pros

Good pay, bonus, and vacation/holiday days. Average medical/dental benefits.

Cons

Lots of European bias that creates a toxic environment. Most Americans are not respected or given the same opportunities. Bad managers are protected by HR. Upward mobility only works if you are part of a succession plan. Work/Life balance is a joke.

Pros

walking out the gate to go home.

Cons

Management has created a hostile environment between it's employees. No one on hrly pay can trust 98% of the management for the fact of the lies and deceiving statements in which they have told then back out of when confronted. Engineers coming for their rotation are quick to understand that it's not where they want to be from upper management forcing their hands. Maintenance Dept. is down to none. Outside contracted to do the work. With only 3 maintenance hands, they are forced to do a job they are not qualified for. One does electric work, in which is his trade and then is has to do work outside his job scope. Operations Dept. has had the USW to come in and help get things straighten with the tyrannical attitudes of the current management in charge. The anti-trust rule in the code of conduct has been broken and they have spoken up to get the pay, work load, and overtime straighten out once and for all. Lab is the only thing we see that has good people running as well as a manager that cares for it's lab folks. Never leading them through the deception of something good and not delivering. He stands up for his department.

Pros

Good benefits decent working hours

Cons

A lot of sexual harrassment going on in this place. Observance as a temp to hire person and HR has a high turn over because of non'compliance. Don't recommend.
