Pros
I felt I was paid fairly and benefits were generous. There is a lot of opportunity for improvement of current processes, so there is always something to do. The company is profitable and growing, but the employees have become slaves of the shareholders. Positions are always available due to constant turnover. This used to be decent company to work for until 2018, but new management ruined everything.
Cons
Turnover has always been a huge problem. Newly appointed managers have killed morale for several departments, causing many tenured employees to walk away. The yearly turnover rate for 2019 was 90%. Employees in nearly every department get overloaded trying to replace departures. All of the recent manager hires in Longview have been unaccepably bad. Instead of promoting knowledgeable people from within, loud mouths with no industry experience were brought in. They never listen to their employees and constantly state "This worked at my last company, so this is how we'll do it." When the ideas inevitably fail, the managers throw whoever they can under the bus and never accept accountability for their poor decisions. The lack of knowledge of AAON products and refrigeration among the managers is insulting. THIS IS A CULTURE WHERE KNOWLEDGE DOESN'T MATTER. Many departments are arranged very poorly. One is team is being managed by someone who has a job function completely unreleated to what his subordinates do. Certain departments are filled with underqualified personnel or have poor leadership. These departments create endless problems for everyone else.
