Chris Craft - Cabinet Maker Chris Craft Employee Review

Good people to work with

The company is slow growing

regular work, 40 hours with some mandatory overtime as management needs. airconditioned factory, tools provided, Safety is a top priority and ppe equipment is provided and training as needed.

New tiered pay structure that does not adjust for inflation so no pay raises some years. Pay does not keep up with inflation ever so have to quit and find another job to increase pay. Supervisors are unqualified with some exceptions and management similarly. Hard to hire qualified people at current pay levels. There is a divide between salary and hourly people that causes friction and an attitude that they can say one thing and do another and everyone will be fine with it. Management thinks everyone below them is stupid. Some disrespect. HR seems to think they can hire people off the street and they will figure out how to build a boat with poor supervision and little information. Manuals are in english and usually unused or useless. There have been several layoffs over the last couple of years, the marine industry is not a stable industry. The work can be dusty and hot depending on what department you hire in for. The company follows an EMPLOYEE code of conduct that really is a weapon to use against you as needed and to protect the company from lawsuits but doesn't apply to management equally. Also have a company vision that they state and posters are on the walls but only works when it suits them. DEI policy is random and they would rather avoid it.
