Assistant Manager - Anonymous employee Instron Employee Review

Great place to learn and good work-life balance

No room to grow, not much salary progression

Company vehicle, health Benefits, but it ends there

Management is creating a hostile environment. You get threatened with termination for the smallest items.. Example: you get dozens of service orders sent to you at once, you're expected to contact every single customer ASAP. If you miss a single one in the first day, you "aren't professional" or "could be terminated immediately".. actual quote from the FSM. You are expected to be 100% perfect 100% of the time. No room for mistakes or getting overwhelmed by the extensive work being dumped on you. FSM also doing a poor job with major customers in the region. I would not be surprised if they lose national accounts because of his attitude towards them. We had a snowstorm recently. It was an epic blizzard, snowing at a rate of 4 inches an hour.. If you got stuck behind a pile up of cars, the FSM expects you to just deal with it and drive home in dangerous conditions. You get written up for being safe and grabbing a hotel room & a meal.
