Review from Operations Dept

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

earlier stated, change in leadership. increase pay

Review from Operations Dept

There is little sense of "team" in my current group. Creating an environment where people enjoy working with one another is crucial. There is little that is done from management to address personality differences between team members when such differences occur.

Review from Engineering Dept

The management team for my department hasn't and won't do anything to earn the respect of employees and have put people into roles that they either aren't qualified for or have an inappropriate attitude for the role that they have been given.

look at my previous responses. 300 characters is not enough to properly list all the flaws in our Textron Systems leadership from the Director level thru the CEO.

People are promoted into management and supervisor with no training. They are responsible for product and peoples career with no idea what they are doing.

Review from Operations Dept

We’re losing workshare, losing product competitiveness, losing brand awareness, failing to

Lack of direction from leaders and negative work environment

Review from HR Dept

Something has to be done about the lack of experience, burnout, and turnover. Do better succession planning, even at lower levels. The best people leave. Too many people are getting exemptions from vaccination. Our cubes aren't ergonomic. The domain based approach is creating even worse silos.

Review from Finance Dept

Company culture leading good people to leave. Unrealistic goals set at beginning of year to kill morale and made it difficult to manage a team that feels like they're constantly failing

Review from Operations Dept

let people work from home if they prove to be just as productive as they are in office. Host more events for young new hires to make them feel acknowledged. It would have been nice if someone I didn't know reached out to me personally and recognized my existence at this company.

What would you most like to see improved at your company?

Mentorship programs to those whose career paths were stifled by old generational thinking. Look in your Admin pool for some brilliant minds who have been shut out or not allowed a seat at the table because they didn't have male attributes.
