The benefits package is very good
My team is very skilled and trustworthy. They will routinely go above and beyond for the departmental goals.
The individual contributors are mostly very friendly and good at their jobs. They hold the place together with the proverbial duct tape and baling wire despite the general incompetence of upper management.
The primary issue is the level of staffing in process engineering and operators. The operators must have a more competitive starting pay, the experienced operators pay is competitive, but the starting pay plus refusal to recognize non-chemical manufacturing experience kills recruiting.
The leadership team is absolutely tone deaf with respect to front line employee retention and recruitment. They treat operators as an unskilled position and do not understand the qualities that make good operators. Upper management in NA region has a demonstrated record of transparent dishonesty.
