Review from Operations Dept
We are treated poorly by executive management. They don’t care about what we contribute and are fast to criticize and make changes without understanding the impact on their e
Review from Engineering Dept
Constant favoratism, very little training, toxic culture, constantly raising work quotas etc
I know it seems cliche, but employees generally understand that we work at a publicly traded company. But stop running the company based on shareholders and start focusing on the customers would be a good start. Sacrificing quality and employee safety for shareholders does not seem sustainable.
Wrong leadership in key positions. Gotta get experience in there to train those positions before handing over.
