What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

Some coworkers were nice, but were afraid to speak up due to retaliation form other coworkers and even upper management.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Listening to lower level employees. Take responsibility. Ensure a safe environment, and prioritize that over a deadline. Keep managers up to date on how to actually manage a team. Give promotions and bonuses based on merit, not years in the company.

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?

Coworkers were completely unprofessional and had no boundaries. Leadership never did anything about the issues, even after they were aware. Work was left halfway done, to be discovered by 2nd shift, or by downstream team that needed to meet a deadline.

What did you like most about the interview process?

The interviewers were very nice and very inquisitive. Once you are hired, their attitude changes, and nothing that they say in the interview is 100% true. Processes or machines they say are in the process of acquisition, never actually happen. It is disheartening.

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

Very undervalued. My initial offer was so low, that manager at a fast food company was making more at the time. I was put off from getting a raise for several years, until I decided to resign. That is when they made me a real offer.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

Budget is always underestimated. Techs do not get the proper tools needed to work. Machines are very old, and not always repaired in a timely manner. Hiring needs to filter the new employees and make sure they have the correct skills and knowledge that they say they do.
