It was wonderful from hire up until the site manager Ed Wendt returned to work after a year on medical leave. Now it's as though I'm walking on eggshells and wondering what else negative things are being said about me by the site manager. It doesn't help the the union steward is Ed's right hand man.
I've observed deficiencies in multiple areas, the company does not take complaints seriously unless it is documented and does not protect the complainant from reprisal. Overall, I'd say my experience has been just okay and could be improved significantly.
The open communication makes them the best.
Doing the job I've enjoyed for many years.
The best part is my pay in my compensation package
Promote team building, stop gossiping about other team members with the boss.
Given the opportunity to perform a job I've enjoyed doing for many years.
Engaging with the customers/sailors is the most positive thing in my work environment
Engaging with the customers/sailors makes me most happy at work and not having to engage with my coworkers.
1) improve communication with all personnel. 2) Provide better and more oversight of site leads. 3) Enforce policies in place.
The most positive thing would be engaging with the sailors and the sailors recognizing my hard work and expertise with my job responsiblities.
Based on the workload correlated to the compensation is the reason I feel undervalued. An administrative position can be just as physically and mentally strenuous as a mechanical maintainer yet the compensation is below the lowest grade mechanical maintainer.
They need to improve on understanding the governing policies and their actions need to reflect their understanding. They need to stop gossiping about their fellow coworkers. They also need to be held personally accountable for their actions and/or lack there of.
Engaging with the sailors is what makes me the happiest as I do not look forward to engaging with most of my coworkers or the site manager. The environment is toxic because of the rumors the site manager has said about me.
I believe the executive leadership team should get better at performing unexpected/random site visits to understand what is going on at the site and be mindful of the challenges that some of us are met with when dealing with the site manager Ed Wendt.
It's starts with the site manager, as many of them engage socially outside of work where they gossip. The team is no longer a team as some receive special attention/treatment while others are treated poorly by the site manager. There is also a lack of effective communication.
As a Logs and Records Technician, we perform many administrative tasks with preparing a deliverable long after the physical work has been completed and up until the deliverable is transferred. I would feel better if our compensation at least matches or exceeds those of a Mech I.
