Ventajas
We have some of the best and hardest working employees EVER. They go above and beyond what their jobs entail and who love what they do. Despite everything, they still manage to come in with a smile on their faces.
Desventajas
There are so many... I’ve been trying very hard not to be negative, but if you are a current employee, pay is WAY below what we should be making for our positions. However, they are bringing in new employees at a much higher rate. So for all the loyal employees who have stayed during the bad years (which were many), that was their reward! The new CEO stated that raises are not guaranteed and yeah, we didn’t get a raise or bonus. So that ladies and gents is the loyalty you receive back from the company for all that extra hard work and long hours you have put in! So no bonus, no raise, but they are bringing in new people at a higher rate. That makes you feel good doesn’t it? Putting people in positions that have never had any experience in that position at a higher rate. Bringing in new upper management at large salaries. Hmmm. Now they’ve just let more staff go. They’ve also pulled out our special coffee/tea machines and replaced with a normal coffee pot (doesn’t seem like much until you realize how far they are going to cut costs). And they’ve let some contract workers go. This in turn has cut quality. I’ve been experiencing it and it’s only getting worse instead of better. There used to be some really good employees who went above and beyond what was expected. Some have left. Hmm, wonder why? There are still some left but many are waiting until they find a better job or update their skill sets. It’s just a matter of time. So we will spend more money on hiring and training than what we would have spent to just pay what they are worth. There’s no REAL appreciation. But that energy, that loyalty, that commitment to the company was completely sucked out when we were lied to about our raises. Now, those that used to do all that extra work are thinking, why should I? I'm not getting compensated for the extra stuff. Yes we still do our job well, as well as can be expected without much of the support we used to have. But ask for anything extra, and um, no. Now you have a bunch of employees in every department who pay attention to the clock instead of what needs to be done. We are talking the bare minimum. The real reason for this is very simple. Transparency. If the company would have said, “Hey, we’re having a rough spot with the restructuring and purchasing of equipment, etc., can you hang with us for another year while we figure it out?” Instead, they lied and told us for months that the raises were just late because of one reason or another. Lying. I can guarantee that if they had told the truth, there would be a completely different atmosphere right now. And all this goes for all departments in our facility, not just the one I'm in.
