Pros

Decent benefits and good coworkers

Cons

Management needs a huge overall. Employees are managed out of fear and intimidation. She talks to everyone like they're her slaves and is very rude in the way she communicates. There is a massive issue with favoritism and if you're not one on the favorites list you have to watch every step. Some will be given the option to come in early if they need to get off early for an appointment or other reason. Others will be told they have to use paid leave if they want to leave early. Favorites get away with coming in late with no repercussions, but if you're not a favorite you will have disciplinary actions taken against you. And if you get on her (the manager) bad side, it is just a matter of time before you're fired. Management flat out does not care about any of the employees out on the floor and proves it through their actions. They have people doing work they are not certified to do. This results in a lot of rework and findings. They would rather invest money on $1k tablets used for viewing pdfs or purchasing equipment that sits in the warehouse collecting dust rather than into the employees well being. She fires any employee she does not like and forces the rest of the team to pick up the extra work. Management will also talk bad about employees to each other and some of the favorites, instead of talking to the employee directly about any issues. Confidentiality is not something practiced. Cannot go to HR about any issues, because the manager and HR are buddy buddy. Anything you tell HR will get relayed to management weather you want it to or not.

Thank you for taking the time to give us feedback. We are committed to creating a comfortable, transparent and ethical environment for all of our team members, so I’m disappointed to hear about some of your experiences. We agree with your feedback that we have a solid team of employees, and we endeavor to ensure our workplace meets their expectations through open communications and regular engagement surveys. We strive to treat everyone fairly and assess our team members consistently. Thanks also for the advice. Many investments have been made at the Wichita Site including technology, training, tooling, processes and team member recognition. In addition, we have seen positive results from our increased communication efforts over the past two years including Town Hall and Round Table meetings to share company objectives and gather team member feedback. That said, I’m thankful you shared your opinion so that our leadership team can reflect on it and identify other opportunities to encourage open dialogue and a shared vision among our team. If you would like to share more about your experience, please contact me by emailing jason.clarke@safrangroup.com so that we can set up a time to talk. Sincerely, Jason Clarke, Site Operations Manager

Pros

Cool products. Salaries and benefits are ok. Coworkers try to support each other because the corporate office doesn't really care about the global sites.

Cons

French owned company. Very very French. Promotions are limited if your not French. US companies are neglected and not important to the corporate office. Most corporate communications are sent in French with no translation.
