Pros

Intention to make workplace safe.

Cons

Nearly lost Quality accreditation due to failure to close out critical corrective actions. Line Management not given sufficient manpower resources by Ricardo/Terese to enable employees to be away from work for crane/forklift/other essential safety training. Section Leaders not given enough Management training to properly plan and resource their areas, review and improve processes, train up lower level supervisors. Excessive overtime due to frequent freezes on new hires. Ancient equipment that is not properly guarded/isolated/maintained. Major crane maintenance not being done correctly due to cost.

Pros

Barely anything positive to say about this place. Met some decent people in my time there, but overall the company is woeful.

Cons

Everything! Outdated facilities and outdated mindsets. As a senior manager there myself I tried to bring them forward but ultimately it was beyond their understand and didn't fit their hitler style regime! The biggest issue is the inexperience of the senior management. Roles often go to the wrong people - junior, lacking in experience - but based not on skill but instead filling a minority gap so to speak or cheap.....a bit like their product quality and investment! HR is a joke - waste of time and think they can leave people hanging after conducting successful interviews for months - then are "shocked" when the person finds employment elsewhere! The harder you work at this place to "try" and pull them forward the more they regress and faulter! They rattle on about safety - but in reality even basics are not covered - simple things a normal person knows like smoke alarms tested (not done for years) and fire systems in an inoperable state of repair.....but the reality is the company attitude towards people is the worst I have ever seen. Generally a "tick the box" style of company with no depth.
