At the facility I work at in Terre Haute, the leadership team is divided and quite poor as leaders. Equipment is unreliable and downtime is quite high. Turnover rates are absolutely ridiculous. The HR team is extremely unreliable. Engineers are very good and well qualified, mgr for them is not.
What are some of the best things about your team?
They're well qualified and most are motivated.
What did you like most about the interview process?
Straightforward questions, nothing bizarre that's meant to be difficult. Questions were relevant.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Better communication. Several are not vested, just using position as a stepping stone. Certain team members are very cliquish. Current Finance leader is very poor at communicating results and relevant data. Corporate Operations consumes plant leadership time with requests that do little to help
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Supply chain issues affect production greatly, and that is has not not been figured out (and probably out of their control) Operations is "wishy washy" and has trouble sticking to a game plan, and game plans aren't well developed. HR is a joke. Finance was good , declined lately. Tech is good.
What is the best part about your compensation package?
Base salary is competitive. There is a bonus for managers but not salaried staff. Very good rates & coverage for heallth insurance. PTO is standard. 401k match is good. Overall a good comp package but not the top in the area. Hourly staff are just now getting up to area standards.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
They need to focus on the core business and spend time and effort on doing things that will affect their results. Way too much time spent on meetings and meeting prep that does not serve the plant's best needs. A lot of wasted time and effort to satisfy Corporate requests that don't help the plant
