Overall, it's been an average work experience. Though lately I have noticed a lot more bickering and tit for tat squabbles happening between the departments. I'm not sure what has changed to cause this, but it is making my overall work experience more unpleasant than before.
I am unsure what I would consider the most positive thing.
Communication has always been an issue here at PAC. Better communication between all departments and shifts could help with this.
I'm not sure anyone is ever excited about going to work, I come to work to do a job to make a paycheck and I make decent money for the job I do here. It's just not an exciting task.
The business has gone threw some major changes, like switching to 8 hour shift. This didn't seem it had proper planning. And there was no plan to boost moral afterwards. It made alot of people loss faith in the company. Better planning, more transparency, and some moral boosting could go along way.
I work in quality and operators that are responsible to just their one line make more than me. It doesn't seem fair that as qa we are responsible for the quality for at least half the floor but don't make at least as much as those we have to be responsible for.
Planning over this year with the switch back to 12-hour shifts for some members of the plant it was an absolute mess. Schedules mixed up and having to switch part back from 12s once on them because they didn't account for training that was needed. It was all very poorly planned and executed.
During the switch to 12s there were times I had to work unusual hours and felt it would have been fairer to have been preemptively given the dollar shift differential I would have been receiving anyways. I feel it was unfair to have me change my schedule to accommodate the company without this.
Better communication, it's really hard to do your job and seem like you know what you're doing when you don't because of a lack of communication. Meaning what we say too. It's often said that production numbers take a back seat to safety and quality but that is not how it feels on the floor.
