Review from Engineering Dept
What is the best part about your compensation package?
It's very hard to get a salary increase above 5%. Anything more will involve leaving the company, even if you get the highest evaluation.
Review from Engineering Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Proper utilization of an employee's skills is a MUST in any manufacturing environment. Pay should take into account the value added by an employee, such as his/her ability to deliver good solutions, reduce injury, increase productivity, etc.

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
The most positive thing about the culture is that it will change in the future. As soon as the "good ol' boys" are no longer calling all the shots, I can see great things happening. Until then, the company will continue to suffer at the hands of poor management.
Review from Engineering Dept
very clean and staffs very disciplined
Review from Engineering Dept
This is the first company I've worked for that actually understands what work/life balance is. People come first.

fermentation seminars on Fridays and community sport events
Review from Engineering Dept

opportunity to interact with employees from different departments
Review from Engineering Dept
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Use the interview process to help determine if a person will be a good fit for the job they are being interviewed for. Do not hire an engineer for an entry-level data input position. Do not hire a manager with poor management skills.
Review from Engineering Dept
What makes you most happy at work?
being able to work without interruptions
Review from Engineering Dept
The people and my work itself
Review from Engineering Dept
The work is interesting and challenging, and the people are wonderful. We're able to balance work and socializing very well.
Review from Engineering Dept
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Innovation is being stifled by complacent people in roles of authority. How do you improve that situation...? You fire the people who are failing to do their jobs, from EHS to HR, from Management to Maintenance. And you hire people who are constantly trying to improve work conditions.
Review from Engineering Dept
What do you like best about your company?
Working for a business focused on Science and Healthcare.
Review from Engineering Dept
What would you most like to see improved at your company?
IT executive driven support and Dev models are from the 80's.
