Great People Stuck in a Dead End

Anonymous employee

Pros

Great experience building in multiple aerospace processing and testing areas. Pretty hard to get fired unless you wind up on the (crap) list (see cons). Untested self-pay insurance.

Cons

Upper management does not have a regular system in place to rate employees and offer improvement. Workers that are sub par are singled out and put on a sort of "double secret probation". That is until they make a mistake and are kicked out the door. The worker usually never knows that he is on the (crap) list until it is too late. Pay is far below industry average for experienced positions. No regular pay increases or pay structure. Raises are given at owners whim. Owner rants and rages through shop. Governs through fear. Morale is very low. Many great workers are seemingly stuck in this dead end and not appreciated.

Pros

Very good experience knowing aerospace processing and testing areas. Most of co-workers are great.

Cons

It is a lot to write: 1- paranoid bosses, they come early to check the 123 video cameras to know who was working the evening and night before, and who did seat o walk. 2- like a comment someone did before, hard to get to a preferred inner circle where they go out to smoke and to look who to blame for a mistake. 3- A lot of lazy workers and bosses overlook this and push harder the ones work hard and are loyal to the company. 4- Low morale, OT is giving mostly to the people in the inner circle. Many workers that have a lot of " that is not my job" attitude. 5- Except one person, "upper management" doesn't have a clue how to train new people, nor a system. I asked once about SOP's for departments to read and have better idea, I was told that they have it but, never sew it or giving to me. 6- Some "big bosses" treat employees like children, with screams and repetitive one word sentence, do not have people skills at all. 7- Lots of cat calling to female employees, especially for the way they dressed.

Pros

1:Considerate Owner 2: Used to have a strong company figure head, the responsible level 3

Cons

1: No upper management backing 2: Hired an idiot who has the owner snowballed while he systermatically orcherstrates the firing of hard working key individuals that have loyally served the owner 3: Inexperienced individuals hired to perform duties way above and beyond their capabilities 4: No pay raises unless you perform an act of god 5: The huge turn over in Quality Management due to the inadequcy of a the CEO (I use that title in the loosest of forms) to have the capabilities to hire a individual who is capable and qualified 6: Extremley poor preperation for audits 7: Test records falsified an altered to cover up poor planning of Aerospace parts being processed 8: Would most certainly NOT recommend this facility as a place to work as there is zero stability or future in this company
