Review from Operations Dept
When I file complaint is never addressed it's always pushed to the side and I'm told to suck it up. My HR lady doesn't acknowledge how you feel and neither any of the leads had problems with production and leaves talking to me like I'm nobody trash and I've been with this company for four years l
