This place has horrible management, and truly couldn’t care less about their employees. If you’re lucky you might get a 1-2% raise no matter what your numbers for the year. The management is more knowledgeable on the “procedures and policy” than they are of the actual job. Writing people up and wasting their employees time for things that could be talked about and moved on from. They sure know how to micromanage people that have been doing the job for years, while talking to them like they’re idiots. Value? They don’t value their employees at all. It doesn’t matter if you consistently meet goals you’re lucky to get an “attaboy.” The management follows rules and enforced rules as it’s convenient to them. It’s a negative work environment, the pay isn’t all that great and there’s really no room for improvement. If you’re not a favorite you don’t get to work overtime.

Old guard management stifles any new ideas and change, promote bullying and sexism among the “manager” level. Real leaders and engineers have left the facility and company due to seeing these behaviors. (Over 70 years of engineering experience bullied out of the building) The union environment is not conducive to a productive atmosphere, top union leaders and managers are lifelong friends which causes a lot of under the table deals.
