Industrial Engineer • Former Employee
Pros: - Peers
- Bonuses when you get them
- You learn what bad management looks like so you know what not to do as a manager.
Cons: - Awful work life balance (Use and abuse with no recognition or adjusted compensation)
- Long hours
- Miss a lot of time with your family (If a hard worker you get tasked with more work and if not you get rewarded with a good work life balance)
- Unfair Pay (New Hires make more than existing associates)
- Below industry standards time off
- Below industry standards 401k
- Minimal merit increases (2% and 3% if lucky)
- You have to build your fake brand. (Hard work, dedication and personal sacrifices don’t count, it has to be fake)
- Don’t do true engineering work (Work done could be done by someone off the streets with 1 week of training)
- You are just a number or a dirty old shoe (Whatever they preach it is the opposite and they truly don’t care about you)
- Constant directional change (1 year LMS work another Automation)
- No clear cut roadmap of planned work
- No work is ever closed and boomerangs right back in a short amount of time
- Engineering is the only group held accountable (Other departments are not held accountable, which makes it hard to implement any changes)
- Engineering is the do it all group (Blamed for all problems and has to solve all problems)
- Endless unless non-value added meetings
