What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Personal Accountability, Integrity, responsibility, leadership skills, knowing your people, learning how to motivate and retail quality people, been in position for nearly two years with no personal or group training with my director.
Review from Operations Dept
enforce some rules, stop the favoritism seems like no one is going to bat for the guys on the floor
Review from Operations Dept
communication flow, ensuring work life balance, listening to concerns and feedback
Review from HR Dept
Taking Covid seriously, valuing their employees as much as they value their shareholders, paying us competitively, not seeing benefits as a way to trim expenses and make more for shareholders, providing comfortable and modern working environments, embracing WFH like the rest of the industry.
Review from Executive Dept
Understand the product we are producing. On the SSC program, most Director level people and up are clueless about fabrication and large assembly. Most are from other Txt BU's that only deal with assembly (not fabrication).They fail to understand core vs. context for this work. The facility is a joke
Review from Engineering Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
pay is not equitable to experience or accountability. A change in management structure.
Review from Operations Dept
What I currently make is the same as what I was making 13 years ago. I am experienced and not planning on leaving but I'm still paid what someone that is just starting out in their career is making.
Review from Finance Dept
pay does not equate to the cost of living and inflation.
Review from Finance Dept
I believe there should be cost of living raises and the opportunity to work from home. Some people in the company get paid the same as me but get to work from home so in the long wrong are making more.
Review from Finance Dept
I feel like our team is underappreciated at times and yearly bonus's could be a little better
Review from HR Dept
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
There is a lack of a positive attitude and a desire to strive for greatness.
Review from Engineering Dept
The moral in my department is non-existent and when you have a manager that refuses to participate in team building events because they don't want to "end up getting something stupid because it would piss them off" (exact words), that disparaging attitude carries over to everyone else.
Review from Finance Dept
My coworkers need to work on their technical expertise to relate better to the other teams here. Especially our engineering groups. They also need to show up to work and be more accountable and work on their time management
Review from Customer Support Dept
all departments have an us versus them mentality and it makes it difficult to get work done cross various departments
Review from Operations Dept
We have people in the department that should not have been hired as they were completely unqualified and they DO NOT show themselves as part of a team at all and try to get others to do their work and abused the remote working as an additional way to not do work. Other teams members are great though
Review from Finance Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Start with leadership, instill value and appreciation by achievements and inhouse perks. More training.
Review from Operations Dept
Using personality tests to assist with staffing teams could go a long way in increasing team morale.
Review from Engineering Dept
TOO NEW TO THE COMPANY TO EVEN ANSWER
Review from Product Dept
Culture is not the problem, incompetence of our product/process (or lack thereof) at the Director level and thru the CEO is. It is like saying Enron had a culture problem. . . . no, the core business model was flawed, and no amount of 'culture' could save it.
Review from Engineering Dept
More alignment with COVID strategies from the top down to the employee level. More acknowledgement of hardships faced over the last 2 years and especially for those we have lost from COVID. Better recreation activities sponsored by the company like picnics
Review from Customer Support Dept
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Currently our interview process requires applicants to interview with too many different individuals.
Review from Engineering 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.
Review from Finance Dept
the ability to work from home would make it better. our jobs are fully remote but we are expected in person for meetings which are never in person
Review from Finance Dept
Continual fire fighting takes a heavy toll
Review from Operations Dept
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.
