Roush Industries reviews about "roush"

HR and upper management does not care about the low level employees. Although we've been working 10 hours to make Roush a greater company, there is no reward for us. There is no relation between the Roush that we help and the one that we see on the commercials. They took years to give a simple t-shirt for us. How much it's a coffee mug to Roush? NOTHING! Bur for that hard worker guy, that means a lot! You have to show appreciation to us. We have terrible buildings, dirty bathrooms, leakage on the roof, archaic computers/tools, zero chance of promotion (unless you are the favorite one). The "leaders" on the building that I work shouldn't even been cleaning or toilets. They just don't care about the company. They never earned their positions.

Formal Training: Roush does not provide a lot of formal training; however, if you are a person who takes initiative, understands his/her weaknesses, and identifies a training course to improve the weakness then Roush will financial support the training. Like many other aspects of the company, you will need to take the first step.

I was hired as a senior Infirmation Security Analyst to help with compliance and regulatory matters on the defense side. I left a job of 15 years because I wanted a change and was very excited to take my experience in this field to Roush. Well, that excitement very quickly faded. I get there and they are very disorganized. The first full week or so I just sit there because there is no computer ready, there are no accounts created and I can do absolutely nothing because I have no access. During this time, I see and speak to my manager about 10 minutes total time. Pretty much no communication whatsoever. I sit in a office 8 hours a day with absolutely nothing to do. I finally get a computer and take their onboarding tests and start reading through some of their compliance stuff after a couple more days. Keep in mind, im into week 2. Week 2 I meet with my manager for about 10 minutes and pretty much no direction, no orientation of where the organization is in the compliance process, nothing that one would normally expect for this type of position. Week 3 and my manager is in India for a week. Another week of no communication. Week 4 I'm expected to run the change management process meeting. Keep in mind, I have still had no introduction to anyone, I barely know anyone on my... team. Im excluded from meetings, I still do not have the access I require, even the manager admits that he has pretty much ignored me. I try to do aspects of what I was hired to do only to be rebuked at every turn. I request the access I need so I can try to be more productive only for that request to be ignored. Even with my limited access I am successfully in some things like migrating their crowdstriks, as best as possible perform a couple gap analysis, write a software review process. I ask for more to do so I can perform some simblance of why I was hired only to be ignored. I would still try to ask questions of different people and departments to try and get an idea of what was going on only to be told I can't do that... its my job to ask and I sure wasn't getting anything from my boss. In the 2.5 months I was there, I probably had a cumulative 1 hour conversation with my boss and only saw him maybe 20 minutes in 2.5 months. Zero direction, almost zero inclusion in any meetings. Pretty much completely ignored by my manager the entire time I was there, and I get terminated last week... I left a 15 year job for this mess? I've run IT departments. I've run compliance and security departments. This place was the biggest joke ever. To top it off, I started out going in every day only to be told by several people that I was making them look bad because they lived closer and refused to come in. They brought me on knowing they were going to do layoffs.

Starting Pay is low at Roush with Companies in the Same Industry offering higher pay for their employees. Decisions and information do take very long at times. It can have periods of slow downs, and work to do can be very scarce. That’s not very common, as the workplace is normally busy. Overtime is Available, but not mandatory. Work areas are difficult in the summer months without A/C.

Shop is too hot in Summer, with dusty air all year.

Even though they recently changed their vacation policy it is still not up to par with other companies in the automotive industry.

Roush has a real culture problem especially with regards to retaining new talent, primarily because Jack Roush is notoriously cheap (so low salaries) and that cheapness now exists at almost every level of the company. The working environment is not great and can be hostile at times.
