Great Potential, Poor Management

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great place for new quality and manufacturing engineers to learn the ropes. Lots of work and projects available. Opportunities to learn how to use SAP.

Cons

Poor management of resources. Much of the work is coordinated using crisis-time management, because project management principles are never fully implemented. Low morale due to lack of regularly scheduled performance reviews, hence employees do not know where they stand. Unwillingness by management to provide financial incentives like bonuses. Raises are hard to come by, and when they do happen, are not commensurate with market standards. Big focus on Lean Manufacturing and 5S, but at the expense of projects that could more fully contribute to revenue. Training is done, IF there is time; otherwise, you're on your own.
